Automotive Parts Classifieds - Powered by Styckyd
Developer Last Online: Jul 2012
What does it do?
Adds a new marketplace to your forum specifically designed for automotive enthusiasts to buy and sell parts to and from the entire Styckyd network, add a non-advertising revenue stream for you, and eliminate classifieds moderation. How does it do that? We have built it on top of a parts classification standard that many large parts retailers and auto recyclers use. This has allowed us to build a part cataloguing system that makes searches much more relevant and allows sellers to associate parts with specific vehicles. This is a hosted solution and by using this plugin you'll have access to the for sale listings of all the other forums in the network and vice versa. We'll handle any customer service issues that may arise and alleviate you and your team from having to do the same. We charge a fee when a seller successfully sells their part - there is no fee to list a part for sale. 10% of that fee goes to the forum. Who are you guys? We are automotive enthusiasts and are trying to make buying and selling automotive related products effortless. You can read more about us here: http://partners.styckyd.com/whoweare Features?

Right now we have a bit of a communication problem - many people don't understand exactly how it all works when they take a quick look at it. This will be improved on our next release (Aiming for next week). Which leads me to this one: Quote:
If you don't have a classifieds forum already, isn't that a perfect opportunity to use Styckyd as your classifieds system? I think your users are geographically focused though, so it may not be as useful until there is a network of communities involved (One of the main features is that we calculate shipping and include it in the price the buyer pays). Quote:
We can handle everything from there. For some of the features to work we'll need to add some information to your forum profile (Like if your community is focused on one particular make or model), the rest will grow organically out of the features we implement over time. |

Automatic shipping calculation is great, but Fedex is horrible in our area. So adding UPS will be important. Especially since UPS is the only shipping company in the US that guarantees their ground shipment times. I have a UPS daily account and used to do almost $2k a week with them in a previous business. I tried every company out there before I settled on UPS. I could install styckyd, but frankly, it would be a tab on my navbar that wouldn't be clicked if there's a classifieds forum. This is why I need integration to make both systems simultaneously available to the users. I'm currently in the process of a complete site re-design, so any classifieds implementation will come after that, and maybe not until the end of the year since the content producing season is basically here. During this season, I rarely have time to breathe moreless consider any infrastructure changes. |

hmmm. ok. Let me think about your comments for a little bit longer and I'll get back to you. I'm pretty sure I have your e-mail address. If you have more thoughts in the mean time feel free to e-mail me @ kerry at my domain. We'll be able to make something work - just not sure exactly what yet.
I'm definitely listening to you and hear what you're saying. |

Sounds good. As you can tell, I believe in styckyd and want it to succeed. Thank you for listening to my concerns, and I can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

[A copy of the blog post I just made about vBulletin single sign-on:
Many forum admins are asking us for greater vBulletin integration. On the top of the list is integration with the vBulletin login system. So because you asked for it, we built it. Here’s how it works. If the user is logged into the forum and has used Styckyd before, nothing more will be required. If the user isn’t currently logged into your forum and they attempt something that requires authentication a lightbox will open up that looks like this: If they’re logged in but haven’t used Styckyd before we need to register them quickly before they can continue. Here’s the lightbox that pops up in that case: Finally, if they’re logged in and have already used Styckyd on a different forum, then as a security measure to ensure we’re keeping accounts safe this lightbox will pop up asking them to confirm the auth code we sent to the e-mail address that they first registered with: We have much more on the way. Let us know if there’s something you really need working on your forum. Every day we make this system a little better. |

We have recently added two new features: A 30 day free trial for new forums (Any listings created by your members within that timeframe will never be charged a listing fee) and integration with Tire Rack's affiliate program.
On deck: A feed to seed listings into the regular classifieds forums and link back to the plugin, and the ability to add free local listings. |

We have recently updated the app so that Want to Buys are more prominent and useful - users can add a wheel size and bolt pattern they're looking for and they'll receive an e-mail when there is one available.
We have also added functionality for "Feelers" which allow sellers to post up an item that they have to see if there is any interest from buyers. If there is, then they can move to a full listing and add other details like price and pictures. We've made it so that sellers can list their part locally which buyers within 60 miles can purcahse and there is no charge for local listings. Try it out: www.styckyd.com More on the way. |
