GM plan to sell cars on eBay starts

Car buyers in California will be able to name their price tomorrow when a new
sales partnership between General Motors and eBay, the internet auction
site, goes live.

GM, which first announced the scheme to its plans to expand its showrooms from
the parking lot to the laptop last month, said that 225 dealers in
California would take part in the trial, offering up to 20,000 cars and
trucks, from tomorrow.

Vehicles will be offered through eBay Motors’ traditional formats such as “Buy
It Now”, where shoppers agree to pay the advertised price, and eBay’s
innovative “Best Offer” option, where buyers indicate the price
they are willing to pay and can negotiate online with the dealer for the
vehicle.
