eBay Partners with Proxibid

March 3, 2015 - eBay and Proxibid have announced a partnership that will make heavy equipment, industrial machinery, farm equipment, cars, and trucks accessible to browse and buy online.

 

Later this year, Proxibid’s auction company partners will be able to participate in live auctions on the eBay marketplace using the company’s software solutions and bidding technology. Auctions and special events, which will be promoted by  Proxibid and eBay, will give buyers the ability to participate in traditional live auctions through real-time bidding. 

 

“We’re excited to expand eBay’s existing live auctions offering into the business and industrial space,” said Gene Cook, general manager of emerging verticals for eBay Marketplaces. “Proxibid is an established brand in the industry, and brings a wealth of experience in live auctions. This partnership extends eBay’s general marketplace offering in the Business & Industrial category, while providing Proxibid exposure to a global audience of 155 million active eBay buyers.”

 

The eBay marketplace will provide a virtual entrance to live auctions from anywhere in the world, eBay’s 155 million active buyers will have the same access to inventory as those bidding in person, onsite at the auction. Buyers can bid with confidence, knowing they have eBay’s Business Equipment Purchase Protection and Vehicle Purchase Protection, as well as inventory sourced from Proxibid.
