SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- eBay Motors,
one of the world's largest marketplaces for all things automotive,
is launching an all-new, automotive-focused app for Apple iPhone
and Android. Powered by advanced technology, the app is a powerful
tool for buying and selling vehicles directly from consumers'
mobile devices in an entirely new way. Starting now, customers in
the U.S. can use the app to easily list, search and shop for
vehicles with a reimagined experience that makes for a smooth user
ride that cannot be found anywhere else.
Download the free app (Apple App
Store or Google Play Store) and check out the optimized
shopping and selling journey. New innovations include a
personalized homepage, streamlined listing capabilities and
improved search filters. Shoppers can instantly access eBay Motors'
huge selection of vehicle inventory, from new or pre-owned to
classic, rare and collectible vehicles, and sellers can
conveniently list their vehicle to eBay's millions of buyers.
"eBay Motors is the premier destination for auto enthusiasts and
general car buyers looking for great value and selection, and it
was our mission to distill those offerings into a
functionality-packed app made by car-lovers for car-lovers," said
Ron Jaiven, General Manager of eBay
Vehicles. "With the new launch, we're serving an elevated
experience that is unrivaled in the market for buyers and sellers
alike, and is a game changer in the way users buy and sell
cars."
Meet the eBay Motors App
eBay Motors' new tailored mobile shopping platform allows consumers
to bid on or buy any vehicle, virtually anytime, anywhere. New
AI-driven vehicle pages and thoughtful functionality empower the
user to populate and showcase a vehicle for purchase, and refine
the broad inventory of cars and trucks served to them based on
preference. Here's more on what's new:
- List with just your License Plate: When
selling a vehicle, the user will be prompted by the app to take a
photo of the license plate, which the app will use to automatically
populate key details such as make and model, year and VIN. In just
a few steps, and in less than 5 minutes, a seller can create and
populate a listing, including uploading images and a video of the
vehicle to entice the right buyer.
- AI Powered Image Sorting: When listing or viewing
a vehicle on the new eBay Motors app, images of the vehicle will be
automatically organized by AI to provide a listing which looks like
it was created by a mechanic.
- Featured Searches: Check out featured searches,
ranging from low riders to lifted trucks. Need some inspiration?
Look for the cars from your favorite movies, or vintage cars that
were popular in years past. Find something you like? Use the
favorites feature to save it.

Buy a Car on eBay Motors
Searching thousands of vehicles for that perfect car or truck can
be daunting, but not with eBay Motors' refreshed buyer experience.
Users will be greeted by a highly-customizable home page where they
can browse vehicle listings that are populated based on specific
criteria and preferences. Robust filters then enable the shopper to
drill down and find the exact vehicle they are looking for.
Listings can be refined by available images, year, price and
mileage, and the user can even preview the number of results
matching each filter before they are applied.
After finding the perfect ride, buyers can rest assured in their
purchase with eBay Motors' Vehicle Purchase Protection (VPP) plan,
which covers up to $100,000 for
vehicle non-delivery, missing title, or major undisclosed
defects.
Sell a Car on eBay Motors
A thorough, informative listing is critical to completing a sale
and the eBay Motors app is uniquely developed to help sellers
showcase their vehicle for potential buyers. When listing a
vehicle, the eBay Motors App will prompt the user to take a photo
of the license plate. Then, the app automatically populates key
details such as make and model, year and VIN of the car or truck
being sold. To further enhance their listing, a seller can upload
images and video of the vehicle - including interior, exterior and
powertrain - to showcase the car or truck entice the right
buyer.
