How ifndautoparts Works
ifndautoparts (pronounced I-Find Auto Parts) is a dedicated UK marketplace for buying and selling car parts - from everyday service items to rare and hard-to-find classics.
Whether you're clearing out the workshop, restoring a project, or keeping your daily driver on the road, here's exactly how it works.
For Sellers
Sell your spare parts with no listing fees and full control over your price.
Reach buyers nationwide, receive secure payments, and clear space in the garage.
1. Create your free account
Register in minutes. Add your details and connect a secure payment method (PayPal or Stripe) so you get paid automatically when an item sells.
→ No listing fees. No subscriptions.
2. List your part
Take a few clear photos, choose your vehicle and category, describe the condition, and set your price.
✔ New, used, OEM, aftermarket, Remanufactured
✔ Single parts or full inventory
✔ Bulk upload available for trade sellers
Our listing form is designed specifically for car parts, so buyers can find exactly what fits their vehicle.
3. Choose shipping or Click & Collect
Pick how you want to deliver:
- Shipping – use our shipping options or your own
- Click & Collect – the buyer collects directly from you
They'll bring a secure collection code generated by the system.
4. Get paid
Once the buyer receives their item, payment is released straight into your PayPal or Stripe account.
→ Transparent pricing: you’ll see our commission before you publish your listing.
Sell one spare part… or build a full parts shop. We're built for both.
