eBay Motors vice president, Rob Chesney, said today that eBay is talking to other automakers about a similar arrangement. While he declined to give any names, Chesney said that eBay will make an announcement later this year.

It is still unclear how dealers will go about listing their inventories on eBay Motors.

Korecker said the eBay is looking for an automated way for automakers to upload their inventory.
