We mentioned it in our blog on July 13, that General Motors and eBay were looking into working together. Well it’s official, GM will begin selling new cars and trucks on eBay starting Tuesday. The program will be a way for buyers to receive discounts on vehicles without directly dealing with the dealerships.

Vehicles will not be sold to the highest bidder, instead it will be listed as a “buy it now” vehicle which would be equal to General Motor’s supplier price. Shoppers will also have the option to submit a lower bid that the dealer may or may not accept.

It will involve about 90 percent of G.M.’s dealerships in California. One of the reasons General Motors decided to start with California is because of poor performance in the state in recent years. As many as 20,000 vehicles will be listed on eBAy initially. The program will initially run through September 8, 2009. GM hopes to expand it throughout the country.
