eBay Motors: Policies for Listing Assistants

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.

Becoming a Listing Assistant
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 any related eBay Motors legal considerations.

Policies for Listing Assistants

We highly recommend that you check with your state's Department of Transportation (DOT) to understand licensing and liability issues before engaging in Listing Assistant activities on eBay Motors. All terms of services will be negotiated between Listing Assistants and their clients.
