eBay is a global online marketplace, with 233 million registered users worldwide, where practically anyone can trade practically anything. In the Netherlands, eBay has built one of the most successful markets for the sale of used cars and the company is continually looking for ways to improve its service to consumers and dealers.

During the year, eBay joined forces with Experian to create an important new facility on its Dutch website, Marktplaats.nl, that would ensure greater peace of mind for used car buyers. Every vehicle offered for sale on the site now comes with an Experian vehicle history check, including information about the number of previous owners and its officially recorded mileage. There is also helpful information about the cost of ownership and comparisons with other, similar vehicles.

Dick Gorris, Channel Manager at eBay: “Experian’s vehicle history check has strengthened our position in the used car market and made the process of buying a used car less of a gamble”.
