Select the listing from your Inventory that you want to change by clicking on the listing title. Now you are able to change each section of the listing by clicking on the ‘Change’ link next to the section concerned.

Click Create Listings and select the type of vehicle that you would like to list. On the next page, you can enter the VRM and click Continue >. If you don’t have the VRM, you can select the Make and Model of your vehicle using the drop-down menus. Next, please type in the car's First Registration Date if available and press Continue >. Based on your information, extensive vehicle databases will complete most of the essential car specifications. You will still be able to make changes or add features that you consider necessary.

You can save time when listing a vehicle by looking up vehicle data and standard equipment information based on the VRM. Just enter the VRM in the box when prompted, click Continue > and eBay Motors Pro will do the rest. Remember to check the pre-filled details and to also describe the vehicle's condition.

In very rare circumstances, we won't have all the details for a particular vehicle. If this happens, you'll be asked to provide some or all of the vehicle data and standard equipment information yourself.

No. However, you can always start the listing process again: just click on the Cancel button provided at the bottom-right of each page. Be aware that starting the process again will clear any vehicle data, standard equipment information or descriptions you may have entered for that listing.

• You can provide both a Title and a Subtitle for a listing: they are displayed when eBay members search the site.
• You have 80 characters (letters, numbers and spaces) available for each: keep in mind that buyers don't search for words like 'wow' or 'look,' so use the limited space available for more descriptive words.
• You can't use HTML, quotes (' or ') or asterisks (*).
• Include your vehicle's make, model, derivative and year.
• Think of words that buyers might use to search for your car, like 'BMW', 'convertible', '4x4', but only include relevant words:
