eBay Motors, Hollander announce online deal

SAN JOSE, Calif. - eBay Motors (www.ebaymotors.com) announced an agreement with Hollander, a Solera company and a provider of auto recycling and parts yard management solutions in the U.S. and Canada, to provide access to more than $2.7 billion in retail value of used parts inventory on eBay Motors. Hollander’s inventory represents nearly 60 percent of the available used parts market and marks the first time their more than 3,000 auto recyclers, rebuilders and collectors will have the ability to list items online — reaching nearly 12 million unique monthly visitors on the eBay Motors site.

 Hollander’s enterprise resource tool will power the listings which will then feed directly on to eBay Motors. The launch is expected to take place by the end of this year.

“Our goal is to connect buyers and sellers in a global marketplace with the largest selection of great deals,” says Rob Chesney, vice president, eBay Motors, Marketplaces. “Working with Hollander essentially doubles the eBay Motors selection — already the largest parts inventory on the Web — and reinforces our position as a leading automotive destination online with access to the best inventory in the used, refurbished and liquidation automotive parts and accessories space.”

Tony Aquila, founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Solera, noted, “With eBay Motors we are unlocking an unprecedented number of recycled parts new to e-commerce and creating a cost-effective and value driven solution for both auto recyclers and eBay Motors users.”
