That’s about to change, thanks to eBay Motors officially joining forces with Caramel today. Together, eBay and Caramel create a one-stop online shopping and end-to-end transaction experience.
In 2000, eBay Motors pioneered the buying and selling of cars, parts, and accessories online. Twenty-five years later, it remains the go-to spot for commuters, DIYers, and auto enthusiasts. With today’s news about Caramel, eBay Motors adds extra horsepower to its marketplace by integrating state DMVs, financing and payment providers, and transportation and insurance entities.
LA-based Caramel was founded in 2021 by Ed Brojerdi and Craig Nehamen.
Skip the DMV
Caramel’s online platform makes the process simple. After agreeing on the transaction price, you seamlessly move through a few quick checkout steps online. During this process, you can explore optional financing, warranties, insurance, and delivery.
Caramel verifies both parties’ identities, ensures the title can be transferred from seller to buyer, and handles the paperwork and ownership transfer on your behalf.
Make your choices, and then Caramel prepares the DMV paperwork—allowing you to skip long lines at the DMV. eBay Motors’ Vehicle Purchase Protection has your back throughout the process, covering transactions up to $100,000. You can also receive an unbiased third-party pre-inspection condition report from an eBay Motors trusted partner.
A Big Win for Car Buyers and Sellers
Chris Prill, general manager of eBay Motors, celebrated the acquisition and what it means for car buyers. He said:
By integrating Caramel’s seamless platform, we are underscoring eBay’s commitment to a more secure and transparent vehicle marketplace, which in turn makes it easier than ever for buyers and sellers to transact with confidence.
The unified forces of eBay Motors and Caramel are a game-changer for car buyers—whether you’re searching for a grocery-getter, unicorn classic, cruise night special, or weekend warrior.
Craig Nehamen and Edward Brojerdi, Caramel’s co-CEOs and co-founders, said:
Partnering with eBay is a natural fit for Caramel, as they share our goals of fostering connections, building vibrant communities, and making it easier than ever for people to buy and sell the things they love.
