eBay in used auto partnership with Hertz
eBay and Hertz Car Sales are teaming up to expand their respective online auto sales offerings.
eBay is now providing a dedicated Hertz Car Sales online showroom on its site that makes more than 8,000 used Hertz Certified vehicles available for purchase. Hertz Certified vehicles undergo a 115-point inspection and include added benefits such as a 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty and a seven-day buy-back guarantee.
A majority of the vehicles are one year old or newer, and Hertz says the partnership advances its strategy to make retail its primary sales channel. Other Hertz Car Sales retail initiatives include launching full-service online used car sales, as well as a collaboration with Amazon Autos that combines Hertz Car Sales’ nationwide inventory with Amazon’s shopping and checkout experience.

All Hertz vehicles will be available through eBay’s Secure Purchase, which enables a seamless end-to-end vehicle transaction, including payment, financing, registration, ownership transfer, transport, and up to $100,000 vehicle purchase protection.
“eBay has long been the destination of choice for car shoppers seeking value,” said Andreas Wielgoss, GM of vehicles at eBay U.S. “With Hertz bringing its inventory to eBay, we’re connecting shoppers with a world-class selection of near-new certified vehicles, all backed by eBay’s Secure Purchase which enables a seamless, end-to-end buying experience online.”
eBay Motors, which the e-commerce giant launched as a separate mobile app in December 2019, has been adding new features and capabilities since that time, such as an interface called “My Garage” that lets automotive shoppers upload their vehicle’s make and model to discover corresponding parts and accessories.
“Building on our strengthened retail channels and existing partnerships, establishing a presence with eBay is a natural next step,” said Chris Berg, executive VP, global fleet management at Hertz. “It gives us access to millions of in-market shoppers on a trusted platform, supports a scalable retail model, reduces our reliance on wholesale channels, and puts our near-new, certified inventory in front of more customers than ever before.”
Founded in 1995 in San Jose, Calif., eBay operates in more than 190 markets around the world. In 2025, eBay enabled nearly $80 billion of gross merchandise volume.
Editor’s Note: GameStop has submitted an unsolicited, non-binding proposal to acquire eBay for roughly $55.5 billion in cash and stock. eBay is currently considering the proposal.
