Interesting article posted in Forbes today about Amazon and eBay getting more into the automotive space.

From the article: 

"For Amazon, its parts and accessories business has been one of its fastest growing business units as it continues to attract more direct business from suppliers and car companies." 

"Lately, the pace of disruption from Amazon and eBay has expanded beyond car parts sales to new fields within the auto industry’s ecosystem. Amazon recently piloted online car sales with European units of Fiat, Opel and Hyundai, and there are clear signs according to recent news reports that the company will expand its digital car business – most likely in the UK market for starters."

"eBay, an early pioneer but clearly now seems threatened, is also upping its game. The San Jose, California-based company is boosting its vehicle marketplace through collaborations with vehicle comparison website TrueCar."

All you hear this year is about Amazon, its pretty crazy. I think we all knew that the online traffic/sales were going to grow and things would slowly transition more more to the internet, just seems that its at a faster pace these past few months in terms of people talking about it. The problem is that it all becomes a price game when you take people and relationships out of the picture on the wholesale side. The retail side will get even worse as the younger (smarter online) shopper becomes the larger group and cross checks everything with amazon, rock auto, etc.

      eBay Launches ‘Guaranteed Fit’ Purchase Protection Program
      By Counterman
      eBay Motors announced the launch of
      link hidden, please login to view, a program it says gives users even more confidence when buying and selling on the marketplace. Shoppers can now look for the green ‘Fits’ compatibility checkmark on select parts and accessories listings to gauge whether the part will fit their vehicle. If the part arrives and doesn’t fit as expected, eBay Motors says it will cover the cost of the return and the buyer will receive a full refund – enabling more seamless and trusted transactions for both shoppers and sellers. 
      “People are buying and selling parts online like never before, and eBay Guaranteed Fit helps take the guesswork out of the shopping experience,” said Chris Prill, VP of eBay Motors. “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.” 
      The launch of eBay Guaranteed Fit is the latest advancement designed to help people shop the marketplace with confidence and ease, including Authenticity Guarantee for sneakers, handbags, jewelry and trading cards, and the expansion of condition grading for eBay Refurbished, according to the company. 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. 
      How It Works, according to eBay:
      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, 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.

When I started my career as a technician, performance-related diagnostics were not that challenging when compared to today’s technology.
