Car in garage
When I put my registration into the eBay garage add car form it comes up with the cotrect details except for the date, which is 4 years too old. Is there a way to edit this?

Mentor2 weeks ago · EditedYes, sometimes you can, but it depends on which field is wrong.
If eBay Garage has identified the correct make, model, engine, etc. but the registration year/date is incorrect, try this:
Go to My eBay > Garage (or the Garage section in the app).
Select the vehicle and look for Edit or Change vehicle details.
If the registration date field is editable, update it and save.
If the year/date is locked, that's because eBay is pulling the information from a vehicle database linked to your registration (often based on DVLA data or a third-party vehicle data provider in the UK). In that case, you usually can't edit just the date.
Your options are:
Remove the vehicle from your Garage and add it manually by selecting the make, model, year, and engine instead of using the registration lookup (if that option is available).
Contact eBay support and report the incorrect vehicle data so they can investigate the underlying database.
If the incorrect date is causing parts compatibility issues, it's also worth checking the DVLA vehicle enquiry to confirm your registration's official first registration date. If the DVLA date is correct but eBay is wrong, it's likely an issue with eBay's data source rather than your vehicle and you may need to contact eBay (I'm not sure if this is something they'll be able to rectify though).
