Motors: Listing Assistant

The eBay Motors Vehicle Listing Assistant Program helps match vehicle Sellers-including dealers-with service providers (Listing Assistants) who facilitate the process of selling vehicles on eBay Motors.

Listing Assistants provide:

• Data collection
• Photo services
• Listing creation
• Inventory management

The following services usually require a dealer's license (check with your state Department of Transportation):

• Auction management (responding to emails, calls)
• Post-sale processing
• Complete end-to-end transaction

All members of the eBay Trading Assistant Directory are welcome to list items for sale on eBay Motors. Before doing so, all Trading Assistants should review in detail the information provided on our site regarding legal considerations.

Trading Assistants who are not licensed as a motor vehicle sales dealer are prohibited from:

• Listing vehicles for sale under their own User ID
• Charging a fee for services based upon a percentage of sales price
• Interacting with bidders, filtering or otherwise controlling the flow of information between bidders and the owner of the vehicle.

Note: Please be aware that involvement in a motor vehicle sale (especially across state lines) may carry higher legal liability than selling other merchandise on eBay! eBay highly recommends that you check with your state Department of Transportation (DOT) to understand licensing and liability issues before engaging in Trading Assistant activities on eBay Motors.

Program Overview

The Listing Assistant program is modeled after the current eBay Trading Assistant program, but is separate because of the different legal requirements and complexity involved in vehicle transactions.

All terms of services will be negotiated between Listing Assistants and their clients.
