How to buy your next vehicle on eBay Motors

Why eBay: Buying your next car from the world’s largest marketplace means making the entire U.S.A. your own user-friendly dealership. With around 80,000 new and used autos to choose from, eBay’s easy search tool lets you customize the color, mileage, and price of the car, van, suv, truck or motorcycle that is right for you. There is also a wide diversity of sources -- with half of our vehicles rolling off of dealer lots, and the rest sold by small businesses and eBay Motors customers just like you. Some local sellers even offer a test drive before you buy. Need help shopping around? Every eBay Motors listing includes a Vehicle History Report, featuring details and pictures of your purchase. You can then ask the seller questions (even during the bidding process), and also order an inspection. After comparing prices, submit an auction bid, or take a seller’s offer with Buy It Now, and drive away happy.

Value Prop: eBay Motors buyers have the unique dual ability to search a national inventory of vehicles, and also purchase them at market-based prices – all from their smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop. That includes rare classic cars, the latest electric cars, and high-performance hybrid cars. With over 15 years spent refining its buyer experience, eBay Motors offers you detailed Vehicle History Reports, as well as financing and shipping quotes, before ever having to contact a seller. When your research is done, you can then utilize seller feedback, inspection requests, financing options, and shipping services.

Car Search Basics: eBay’s search tool simplifies sorting through 80,000 vehicles. First, choose between Cars & Trucks or motorcycles. Then, simply click new and/or used, enter make and model, as well as your zip code to get a Best Match. This shows you vehicles with the most views, and from sellers with the best rating. Above the search tool are viewing options for All Listings, Auction, and Buy It Now. So if you search for a new Ford F150 pickup within the default distance of 200 miles of Downtown Dallas, Texas (ZIP 75201), over 1,000 listings may return. You can then refine your search by year, adjust the distance limit, or change the make, model and location altogether. Each listing in the results section shows you a picture, the price, the financing, distance from your zip code, vehicle year and mileage – and you can reframe the results based on each of those data details.

eBay Transaction Basics: Once you have selected a vehicle from your eBay search, learn more about it by exploring the tabs beneath your listing’s main picture. Use the Description tab to see the car’s basic info, specifications, available options, seller info, and terms of sale. Use the Vehicle History Report tab for an accident check, title and problem check, odometer check, vehicle use and event check, and to explore a detailed vehicle history list. The Shipping and Payments tab provides quotes from customer-rated uShip providers near your zip code, and final payment details. If you find a car that you want, put in a bid if it’s up for auction, or Buy It Now if the seller has set a price. When payment is completed, you can arrange pickup and shipping with them, transfer title and you’re ready to drive.
