eBay offers the following buyer protection programs:

Passenger Vehicle Programs:

Vehicle Purchase Protection
eBay Motors helps protect buyers against fraud and material misrepresentation through the Vehicle Purchase Protection program. This free program is available for all eligible passenger vehicle transactions completed on the eBay Motors site. There's no sign-up, opt-in, or registration necessary. Your passenger vehicle purchase is protected for up to $50,000. Learn more about the Vehicle Purchase Protection program.

Condition Guarantee by Seller
The purpose of the Condition Guarantee by Seller program is to provide buyers with added confidence that a passenger vehicle purchased on eBay Motors is accurately described in the listing, and to protect buyers if the actual vehicle condition is materially different from the listing description. Learn more about the Condition Guarantee by Seller program.

Vehicle History Report

A vehicle history report is an inexpensive way to learn the facts about a particular pre-owned vehicle before you make a purchase. eBay Motors provides a link to a vehicle history report on most vehicle listings pages. Protect yourself and your investment with a vehicle history report. Learn more about vehicle history reports.

Passenger Vehicle and Motorcycle Programs:

Vehicle Inspection
Arranging for an independent third-party inspection is a great way to validate a seller's claims about a vehicle's condition. eBay Motors recommends arranging your inspection through SGS Automotive. With their 150-point vehicle inspection, SGS Automotive helps you build the confidence that is crucial to any vehicle sale. Learn more about a vehicle inspection.

Parts & Accessories Programs:

PayPal Buyer Protection
PayPal Buyer Protection offers free coverage up to $1,000 when you buy from qualified sellers. Learn more about PayPal Buyer Protection.

eBay Standard Purchase Protection Program
For most items, eBay covers you up to $200 (minus a $25 processing fee) in the event that you don't receive your item or it is significantly not as described. Learn more about the eBay Standard Purchase Protection Program.
