Vehicle listing VIN issue
Hello… I’m trying to list vehicle for sale that was originally sold in Spain… I was issued a valid title in the state of New Jersey. However eBay’s is not allowing me to list the item because the VIN is not in its VIN database. I understand there is a way to bypass this feature but I don’t know how. Please help. Thank you!

Mentor1 month ago@bumblebee_arts Since your vehicle was manufactured outside of the US you will need to follow these steps to list it>
In the listing form, select the vehicle’s year from the Year drop-down menu.
- Enter 17 zeros in the VIN field. Seventeen 0
- In the item description, you must enter the following information or the listing may be removed:
-- The vehicle’s actual VIN
-- The reason you listed your vehicle using all of the same number in your VIN
- AND include a clear photo of the VIN plate in the auction.

“If the VIN isn't recognized by our systems, the actual VIN MUST be included in the item description with an explanation as to why it wasn't accepted, such as:
- The vehicle was manufactured for a model year before 1980
- The vehicle was manufactured outside of North America
- The vehicle wasn't intended for street-legal use”
