Dan and his wife Patricia had a string of setbacks. When Dan became ill and lost his health benefits, they decided it was time to make a change. They wanted to start their own construction company, but first they needed to buy a truck. In a rural New York town of about 1,000 people, finding the right truck at the right price seemed impossible. But through eBay Motors, Patricia feels she saved around $5,000 dollars. "I saw a similar truck down the road for $27,000!" They ended up getting their ideal vehicle, at a dream price: a forest green Ford F-250 for only $8,886.

Dave Pelis, owner and eBay Motors manager for Pelis Auto Sales in Northampton, MA, set up a system wherein he would buy trade-ins from area dealerships and sell them affordably and exclusively on eBay Motors. "It started as a science experiment, but we had good success with our first few cars, and have continued to use the site ever since," explains a happy Dave Pelis. He says that the Buy It Now feature is generally the best option for most of his buyers. "You must present the vehicle realistically, and stand behind it," says Pelis, who has achieved PowerSeller status.
