eBay supports a parts compatibility (fitment) solution for automotive parts on the US, UK and German eBay sites.  This application allows a seller to identify their items so that buyers can shop based on a specific vehicle to find parts for their vehicle. 

The Parts Compatibility (Fitment) functionality allows an item to be listed a single time and associated with all of the different applications. No longer will sellers need to list all of the different applications in separate listings, but can instead combine them together in a single listing and save on the listing fees while still being found based on the various search terms buyers may apply. The benefits:

• Buyer  - Easier discovery process to find the parts that fit their application
• Seller  - Listings only need to be submitted per product instead of per product and per application/fitment.  This consolidation of listings can easily save a seller 75% or more on their listings fees while also increasing sales since buyers find the items more easily.

2. Defining the specifications of the product (US only) - The specifications will be the same as submitted today by  item specifics .  If you are not yet submitting item specifics information with your listings, you should start doing so today to ensure your products have the appropriate details and are ready for the fitment functionality when launched.
