Starting April 13, all sellers in fitment-enabled categories will be automatically enrolled in Fitment Plus Auto (FPA). This feature updates your Parts & Accessories (P&A) listings with the latest fitment data, eliminating the need for manual data management.

This lets buyers find the right parts for their vehicle, helping you boost your sales and maintain your listings more efficiently.

How it works:
FPA aims to ensure that all parts and accessories listings have high-quality fitment data.

  • Your listings in the covered categories will be regularly updated using an eBay-maintained database.
  • If your listings don’t have fitment data, we’ll automatically add the relevant information to them.
  • If your listings already include fitment data, missing or updated information may be added to improve accuracy.

How does FPA benefit my business?

  • Build trust: Add an extra layer of trust and protection for buyers by qualifying your products for eBay Guaranteed Fit, which can help reduce returns.
  • Improve efficiency: Save time and effort researching your fitment. As long as your listings have the brand and part number, Fitment Plus can match the right vehicles automatically.
  • Increase exposure: Enhanced listings appear in more searches and help boost your sales.

Motors Parts and Accessories sellers who wish to opt out of Fitment Plus Auto can do so here.
