@valueaddedresource I understand your concern, but I suspect he was mostly just trying to make the point that, while the verticals to date have been focused on authentication, that won't always be the focus for each vertical, they will focus on what they see as the pain points in a particular category, and try to correct them. I agree that the larger issue is going to be: can ebay get the data right for fitment? And how will they handle sellers who aren't inputting the correct data? My guess is----and its only a guess---they'll start with only certain makes and models, more popular and expensive vehicles....IF ebay can pre-fill the data (as they are doing with some trading cards, I think), that might be one way to deal with it (at least, part of the solution)
But I'd guess initially at least, certain makes, models, brands, etc won't be the prime focus....I think that's how they've handled the other Verticals as well.....Hopefully, eventually, all of P&A will benefit.
