SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- eBay Motors, one of the world's largest marketplaces for all things automotive, is launching an all-new, automotive-focused app for Apple iPhone and Android. Powered by advanced technology, the app is a powerful tool for buying and selling vehicles directly from consumers' mobile devices in an entirely new way. Starting now, customers in the U.S. can use the app to easily list, search and shop for vehicles with a reimagined experience that makes for a smooth user ride that cannot be found anywhere else.
Download the free app (Apple App Store or Google Play Store) and check out the optimized shopping and selling journey. New innovations include a personalized homepage, streamlined listing capabilities and improved search filters. Shoppers can instantly access eBay Motors' huge selection of vehicle inventory, from new or pre-owned to classic, rare and collectible vehicles, and sellers can conveniently list their vehicle to eBay's millions of buyers.
"eBay Motors is the premier destination for auto enthusiasts and general car buyers looking for great value and selection, and it was our mission to distill those offerings into a functionality-packed app made by car-lovers for car-lovers," said Ron Jaiven, General Manager of eBay Vehicles. "With the new launch, we're serving an elevated experience that is unrivaled in the market for buyers and sellers alike, and is a game changer in the way users buy and sell cars."
Meet the eBay Motors App
eBay Motors' new tailored mobile shopping platform allows consumers to bid on or buy any vehicle, virtually anytime, anywhere. New AI-driven vehicle pages and thoughtful functionality empower the user to populate and showcase a vehicle for purchase, and refine the broad inventory of cars and trucks served to them based on preference. Here's more on what's new:
- List with just your License Plate: When selling a vehicle, the user will be prompted by the app to take a photo of the license plate, which the app will use to automatically populate key details such as make and model, year and VIN. In just a few steps, and in less than 5 minutes, a seller can create and populate a listing, including uploading images and a video of the vehicle to entice the right buyer.
- AI Powered Image Sorting: When listing or viewing a vehicle on the new eBay Motors app, images of the vehicle will be automatically organized by AI to provide a listing which looks like it was created by a mechanic.
- Featured Searches: Check out featured searches, ranging from low riders to lifted trucks. Need some inspiration? Look for the cars from your favorite movies, or vintage cars that were popular in years past. Find something you like? Use the favorites feature to save it.
