1. One day only! List Auction-style for free, January 12. Add Buy It Now for free, too!

Beginning April 1, 2012, eBay Motors will allow high-volume sellers—sellers that list 7 or more vehicles locally and/or nationally per calendar year—to subscribe to the vehicle history report provider of their choice, and will no longer automatically provide free vehicle history reports on every car and truck listing. High-volume sellers will have the option to continue to receive vehicle history reports in their eBay Motors listings by subscribing to AutoCheck. AutoCheck is offering both eBay member discounts and exclusive eBay-only subscriptions for qualifying sellers. All sellers with 7 or more listings per year are eligible to receive these discounted rates. Simply notify Experian by March 31, 2012 to take advantage of the discounts.

Sellers that list less than 7 vehicles per calendar year will continue to get free vehicle history reports displayed in their listings—just as they do today.

Learn more about these changes, how they affect you, and get answers to frequently asked questions.
