General Information

Here, you'll provide details about the car part you’re selling, including the specific vehicles it’s compatible with. This helps potential buyers find the right fit for their vehicles and increases the visibility of your products. Make sure you have all the necessary information ready to streamline the process, you'll need to enter the part number, item category and subcategory from provided dropdown menus, and specify the part’s condition, warranty status, and whether it’s a genuine or aftermarket item.

Car Information

1. Optionally, you can streamline the process by selecting the 'My Garage' button. Choose a vehicle from your garage, and we'll automatically pre-fill the vehicle details for your item.

Don't have a vehicle saved in your garage? No problem! Here's how to manually select the vehicle details for your part:

1. Select the Make: Click on the 'Make' dropdown menu to choose the make of the vehicle your part is from. For a quicker search, you can type the vehicle make directly into the search bar. Check the box to confirm your selection. You can also select multiple makes if your part fits various vehicles.

2. Choose the Model: Next, open the 'Model' dropdown menu and select the model your part is from. As with the make, you can type the model name in the search bar for a faster search. Again, check the box to select the model. If your part fits multiple models, you can select all applicable vehicles.

Additional Vehicle Specifications (Optional):

Next, you'll enter details for the Generation, Series, and Trim:

1. Generation, Series, and Trim: Like with the make and model, you can quickly find what you need by typing into the search bar. Simply check the box to confirm your selections. If your part is compatible with multiple versions, you can select all that apply to ensure your listing covers all relevant vehicles.

By following these steps, you can accurately specify which vehicles your part fits, even if you haven't added them to 'My Garage' yet.

If the item is not specific to a certain model, simply select 'Universal' from the 'Make' dropdown menu to proceed to the next step.

 

Part Information

Next, you have the option to enter a part number for the item, if available.

Category Selection: You will then need to select the most relevant main category and subcategory for your item. Please note that you can only choose one main category and one subcategory for each listing.

*If you're unable to find the appropriate category or need assistance, please contact us. We're here to help guide you on where to place your listing or to add a new category to our system if necessary.

Item Details:

1. Condition: Specify whether the item is new or used.
2. Warranty: Indicate whether a warranty is included by selecting 'Yes' or 'No.' If 'Yes' is selected, a dropdown will appear for you to specify the warranty duration. As the seller, you will be responsible for managing the warranty process.
3. Type: Determine if the item is a genuine part or an aftermarket part. Genuine parts are original manufacturer parts, while aftermarket parts are produced by other companies and may offer different features or value.

Once all details are completed, click the 'Next' button to proceed.
