Supporting EU small businesses

Desguaces Renauto is a family-owned business in Murcia going back three generations, founded by Adrián’s grandfather in 1970 and now co-owned by Adrián and his cousin. Desguaces Renauto breaks down older cars and refurbishes or recycles its functional parts, selling sustainable parts affordably all across the EU. Over 5 years ago, they even decided to start selling their secondhand car parts all over the world using online marketplaces. Today, Desguaces Renauto is one of eBay’s most reputable sellers, with a 98.9% positive feedback rating.

"eBay let us turn a local family-owned business into an international supplier of goods, with most of our inventory being shipped outside of Spain."

Prior to starting his own business, Frank worked for Harley Davidson University, where he trained technicians from all over Europe. In 2007, Frank used his extensive experience to open his own retail store, California Motorcycles, where he repairs and sells motorcycle and automotive parts & accessories. The following year, Frank noticed he had expensive inventory that didn’t work for local customers and was not selling well in his shop. Initially, eBay was simply a channel to get rid of extra inventory, but in less than a year, Frank realized eBay’s potential as a way to expand his physical business. Today, California Motorcycles sells about 25% internationally to countries all over Europe and the world including the US, Saudi Arabia and Mexico.

"Selling on eBay has helped expand our physical business. It’s like having a virtual shop in every county around the world."
