Frooition’s eBay Motors Listing Tools
Frooition works with eBay sellers from all categories and for all packages, but certain categories require additional attention and functionality due to the nature of the products sold.
Because of the many features mentioned above, Motors (Parts & Vehicles) probably need the most custom functionality. Buyers need to be assured that the parts they are buying will fit their vehicles; sellers have a lot of stock, or a lot of information to provide to customers.
Frooition can help! We have developed a number of tools and software features to help eBay motors sellers get more products to their store quickly and easily, helping to grow their sales and increase their eBay SEO.
Software for Auto Part Sellers:
eBay Catalog for Motor Parts
The Frooition eBay listing software allows sellers to list motor parts to eBay using the ePID or MPN and then lookup the parts in the eBay catalog using the eBay Product Based Shopping Experience.
If the product exists in the eBay catalog then the majority of the listing information will be pre-filled. Information that can be automatically completed by eBay:
- Product Title
- Description
- Product images (Stock)
- Category
- Weight & Dimensions
- Parts compatibility
If the items are not found in the eBay catalog, sellers can create the items and if accepted will benefit in search ranking!
Parts Compatibility
With Frooition, sellers can easily build lists of compatible vehicles that their parts fit.
Build up huge tables of compatible vehicles with just a few clicks. Instead of selecting each individual vehicle make, model year and trim, sellers can select all trims with one click.
For example for a 2013 BMW 3 Series there are 128 trim variations to choose from. Instead of 128 separate clicks sellers only need to click once!
Parts fitment allows listings to show up in fitment searches, if you don’t use the fit data you will miss a huge amount of parts traffic. Once you have fitment data your returns rate will reduce and your feedback will improve.
Using parts fitment data, my returns went from 5-7% to just 1-2%. That’s a huge change to my business.

eBay Parts Diagram (USA only)
A fantastic new eBay feature for buyers is the eBay parts diagram search. Sellers can now see an accurate parts diagram and choose exactly which part they need without needing to know the exact part number or name of the item.
This data is hugely valuable and would be impossible for sellers to utilise without eBay’s help.
The great news is by using manufacturer part numbers and parts compatibility, your parts will automatically show up for Parts diagram searches.
Try parts diagram search for yourself

eBay Motors Frequently Asked Questions
The eBay Catalog for Motors allows sellers to list auto parts using ePID (eBay Product Identifier) and MPN (Manufacturer Part Number). This feature utilises eBay’s Product Based Shopping Experience, automatically fills in listing information if the item is in the catalog, and can enhance search ranking for the listings.
Parts Compatibility significantly streamlines the process for eBay auto part sellers by allowing them to specify which vehicle models and trims their parts fit. This feature is particularly crucial because it directly addresses one of the common challenges in selling auto parts online: ensuring buyers can find exactly what fits their vehicle.
By enabling sellers to list all compatible vehicles with a single click, this tool not only saves time but also enhances the buyer’s shopping experience. Shoppers can confidently purchase parts knowing they match their vehicle’s specifications, which in turn reduces the likelihood of returns due to compatibility issues. This improvement in customer satisfaction can lead to better seller feedback, higher ratings and potentially more sales.
eBay Parts Diagram allows buyers to search for auto parts using detailed diagrams, ensuring they find the accurate parts without needing the specific part number. This tool uses manufacturer part numbers in searches, enhancing the buying experience and increasing seller visibility. This feature is currently only available in the USA.
Classified listings on eBay for cars allow sellers to post ads for their vehicles, which function similarly to traditional classified ads. These ads are a great option for high-value items such as cars as they incur a single listing fee, unlike auction or ‘Buy it Now’ listings that may involve additional fees based on the sale price.
In an eBay classified ad, sellers can include extensive design elements and dynamic links, enhancing the presentation and attractiveness of the listing. One of the significant benefits of using classified listings through software from Frooition is the ability to pay to advertise contact details. This feature is particularly useful as it allows potential buyers to directly contact the seller, facilitating discussions about the car, and potentially speeding up the sale process.
