This afternoons press release stated, Since the beginning of the program through August 30 .

. . nearly 4,000 new car buyers entered into negotiations online, over the phone and in person as a result of this promotion.So eBay and GM are going to see what sort of things they can achieve by keeping the Click and Buy program running through September 30th, instead of September 8th as originally scheduled.Then heres the really interesting part At the conclusion of the California promotion, GM and eBay Motors will evaluate extending the program nationally, based on consumer demand and dealer feedback.It still seems doubtful that lots of people are committing 20,000 or more on the basis of pictures on their computer screens. But if the Click and Buy promotion can catch consumers eyes see the over the phone and in person inclusion, theres no reason to believe it wont prove to be an effective form of advertising.
