“To win the top digital award at the eBay Motors Dealer Group of the Year Award two years in a row shows that our dealerships have really taken to heart our commitment to creating a seamless offline and online customer journey."

Branded Motors Campaign of the Year (BMW - MINI eBay Store Launch), Branded Motors Store of the Year (Toyota), and Branded Motors Franchise Dealer of the Year were based on votes from a judging panel.

Four of the awards were voted for by eBay users, winners included:

Commercial director, eBay Advertising UK, Alessandra Di Lorenzo said: “It’s been another fantastic evening here at the eBay UK Motors Awards, acknowledging the best of the motoring industry. Online retail continues to play an increasingly important role in the automotive industry, indeed, a car is bought via mobile every two minutes on ebay.co.uk with a car, motorcycle or part and accessory sold every second.

It’s great to see brands taking advantage of the digital opportunity and we look forward to welcoming new players to eBay so that they too can have access to the 18 million active users who visit eBay in the UK every month.”
