eBay Motors has announced the launch of eBay Guaranteed Fit, a program designed to give users greater confidence when buying and selling auto spares and accessories on the marketplace.
Buyers can now look for the green ‘Fits’ compatibility checkmark on selected parts and accessories listings to understand whether the part will fit their vehicle. Furthermore, if the part arrives and doesn’t fit as expected, eBay Motors will cover the cost of the return, and the buyer will receive a full refund.
eBay Guaranteed Fit is an additional protection under the eBay Money Back Guarantee and covers most new and pre-owned items in the Parts & Accessories category, with more to be added in the coming months.
According to eBay, the launch of eBay Guaranteed Fit is the latest innovation designed to help people shop on the marketplace with confidence and ease. Recent improvements to the eBay platform include the Authenticity Guarantee for sneakers, handbags, jewellery, and trading cards and the expansion of condition grading for eBay Refurbished.
How It Works
Fitment issues arise when a part or accessory is incompatible with the vehicle for which it was purchased. With eBay Guaranteed Fit, buyers can rest assured knowing they are getting the right part at the right price, while sellers benefit from fewer returns and higher customer satisfaction. Here’s how it works:
- Input vehicle details: Shoppers enter their vehicle year, make, model, trim, and engine information into Finder, or select the vehicle saved in My Garage to search for new and used parts.
- Discover parts that fit: eBay Motors verifies that the vehicle details match the part compatibility information within the listing. When there is a match, the fit is confirmed with a green ‘Fits’ checkmark on the listing.
- Purchase an eligible part or accessory: When shoppers purchase an eligible part or accessory, they can be sure it will fit their vehicle. Some exclusions apply, including tires and wheels.
- Access purchase protections: If the part or accessory does not fit the buyer’s vehicle upon arrival, they can return it for free within 30 days for a full refund.
Speaking to journalists, Chris Prill, VP of eBay Motors, said, “People are buying and selling parts online like never before, and eBay Guaranteed Fit helps take the guesswork out of the shopping experience. Accurate fitment is critical to completing a project, from simple repairs to major modifications. With today’s launch, eBay Motors is empowering shoppers to browse and buy the millions of parts and accessories on the marketplace with that crucial added assurance.”
