List With Parts Compatibility
Reach more buyers and simplify your listings by adding Parts Compatibility (also known as “fitment”). You can add all the Years, Makes, Models, Trims, and Engines that your part fits (up to 3,000 combinations), which makes it easy for buyers to find the right parts for their vehicle.
You can list all compatible vehicles through our Quick Listing Tool or through our Advanced Listing Tool. On ebay.com on a mobile device, you can list one compatible vehicle.
There are two ways to add fitment to your listing—through our Parts Catalog or manually. First search our Parts Catalog to see if your item is available. Selecting an item from our Parts Catalog will automatically add all the compatible vehicles and important information like the part Brand and Manufacturer Part Number to your listing. If you can’t find your part in our Parts Catalog, you can continue to the listing form and manually add the compatible vehicles.
