eBay Motors has protection programs in place to protect you from fraud or misrepresentation when buying a vehicle.

Preparing yourself by learning about your seller and the vehicle will also help ensure a safe and successful transaction.

• Review your seller’s feedback.

• Contact your seller with any questions. If the seller doesn’t respond, don’t bid.

• Check the “Buy Safely” section of the vehicle listing to see if the vehicle is covered by Vehicle Purchase Protection.

• Protect yourself from hidden problems by purchasing a vehicle history report.

• Find out what the vehicle is worth by getting the Kelley Blue Book value in Price Research.

• Read the seller’s payment instructions and explore financing if needed.

• Determine if you will ship the vehicle, travel to pick it up, or buy locally.

• Review the How to Buy a Vehicle tutorial.
