SAN JOSE, Calif. and OMAHA, Neb. (Feb. 3, 2015)—eBay and Proxibid recently announced a partnership that unites a global leader in commerce with a market leader in trusted online live auctions for business and industrial inventory. The partnership will make heavy equipment, industrial machinery, farm equipment, cars and trucks accessible to a broader audience and offers a convenient way to browse and buy inventory 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 both Proxibid and eBay, will give buyers the ability to participate in traditional live auctions through real-time bidding. “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,” said Gene Cook, general manager of emerging verticals for eBay Marketplaces. This partnership offers sellers more options for disposition as they seek the maximum return on their assets. eBay’s 155 million active buyers will have the same access to inventory as those bidding in person, onsite at the auction. Buyers have access to eBay’s Business Equipment Purchase Protection and Vehicle Purchase Protection, as well as inventory sourced from one of the most trusted online marketplaces for buying and selling highly valued items in Proxibid.
