FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI buy the part for me?

    No. The AI only reads and verifies data from eBay. You still handle the actual purchase in your browser.

  • 02

    What if the eBay listing has wrong info?

    The AI can only report what is written in the eBay compatibility data. It cannot verify if a seller entered incorrect information.

  • 03

    Can it check my physical car's VIN?

    No. The AI only compares eBay listing data against the vehicle details you provide in the chat.

  • 04

    Does it work with any car part?

    Yes, as long as the part is listed on eBay and has compatibility data available in the listing.

  • 05

    Can the AI change my eBay settings?

    No. The AI has no permission to modify your eBay account, cart, or personal settings.
