eBay, bidadoo announce strategic partnership for equipment sales

eBay announced this week a strategic partnership and investment in bidadoo, a leading online remarketing and auction company of equipment, trucks and capital assets.

As one of the largest marketplaces for heavy equipment, eBay offers buyers a wide selection of equipment, trucks, parts and attachments for industries from construction to transportation to agriculture. This partnership will combine the proven platform and global reach of eBay with the unique capabilities and experience of bidadoo, the companies say. 

The companies say bidadoo brings specialized expertise in the heavy equipment sector, with a proven ability to provide a deep level of customer trust and assurances. Through bidadoo, eBay buyers will have access to the best used construction equipment from leading manufacturers, governments, rental companies, contractors and financial institutions, all supported by eBay’s Business Equipment Protection Program (BEPP). 

Additionally, bidadoo provides eBay buyers an added layer of confidence with the transaction — every bidadoo equipment listing includes a detailed condition report, photos and video demonstration, and is sold with the bidadoo 100 percent Guarantee, allowing for a full refund if a listing was not accurately represented. 

“We are on a path to making eBay the best destination for customers across a wide range of categories,” says Jordan Sweetnam, senior vice president, North America, eBay. “We need deep expertise and a broad mix of inventory across our top categories — whether sourcing 45-ton excavators or a pair of Jordan 4s. bidadoo has been a leader in delivering solutions for Heavy Equipment buyers for nearly two decades, and will be a critical partner in eBay’s journey to expand our experiences in this vertical.” 

“We are excited to deepen our partnership with eBay to expand our asset remarketing and auction solutions,” says Howard Hawk, president,  bidadoo. “For over 18 years on eBay, bidadoo has been committed to delivering the best business and industrial buying and selling experience in the industry. From day one, we chose to build our business on eBay. We share a similar vision and DNA: being passionately customer-centric and laser-focused on improving marketplace and ecommerce efficiencies. Beyond this, we are both centered around trust and transparency. This investment will allow us to bring new solutions and capabilities that will add significant value to our customers and continue to grow our very passionate team.”
