Caramel has a site and app that helps private parties and independent dealers sell cars by handling paperwork, ownership transfer, financing, shipping, insurance, and more. The company also has several marketplace and auction partners.
Although eBay has hosted listings for used car sales and auctions on the site for years, it is currently leaves it at the dealer To process payments and complete any paperwork. Charges such as title fees are also handled through the seller, and you will have to negotiate. Extra on things like dealer installed accessories.
Last month, online retail giant Amazon Started my own “auto” Website for people to buy new vehicles from dealers (Hyundai models only, to start). However, Amazon advertises that you can complete the transaction (including vehicle trade-in) and only need to pick up the car at the dealership.
What eBay's process will look like is still to be determined. eBay says its agreement with Caramel was signed on January 11 and the deal is expected to close in the first quarter of this year.
