Providing Vehicle Details

Buyers want to know all they can about the vehicle you are selling. Remember-a car feature you think is unimportant could be a major decision point for the buyer, such as air conditioning or a CD player.

Following are some key items to include in your eBay Motors description:

Vehicle Identification Number


The vehicle identification number (VIN) is an extremely important piece of information for a potential buyer. The VIN can be used to consult public sources such as Carfax.com about the history of the vehicle (such as flood or collision damage).

To find your 17-digit VIN:
Your VIN is on your vehicle registration card or automobile insurance declaration. It is often imprinted on the dashboard near the windshield or inside the driver's doorjamb.

Existing Warranty

Include information about any warranty coverage your vehicle may have. Most warranties are good for at least 3 years or 36,000 miles. Find out if you're able to transfer an extended warranty to the new owner, or see if your vehicle qualifies for our free Limited Warranty.

Vehicle Inspections

Consider having your vehicle inspected by a professional third party who verifies the vehicle's condition. A link from your listing to the inspection helps attract more serious buyers.

Vehicle Condition

The condition of the vehicle you are selling is especially important to close the deal with a buyer. Always think like a buyer and be as accurate and complete as possible so the buyer can bid with confidence.

Title History

Provide complete title history. If there was a salvage title in the history, make sure it is disclosed in the listing description.

Terms of Sale

Notify buyers of any specific requirements you have to complete the sale of vehicle. The terms can help you make the sale easier if the buyer is prepared.
