Auto Trader hits back at Ebay Motors
Auto Trader has hit back against Ebay Motors after the internet auction vendor upped the ante in the battle for a greater share of the UK's online classified market.
In what could be a further threat to print media, Ebay Motors has announced its intention to include classified ads on its site, putting it into direct competition with Auto Trader.
Matt Thompson, marketing director of Trader Media Group, which publishes Auto Trader, said: “We are flattered that Ebay is following our business model as their auction model seems to have proved unsuccessful for the UK car market.”
