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?
vBulletin Single Sign-on
Automatically calculates shipping between buyers and sellers
Built-in Want to Buy system that notifies buyers when a part they're looking for has been listed for sale
Hosted solution but users remain on your site - similar to placing Facebook Comments on your site.
Hosted on the Amazon Web Services cloud so you don't have to worry about spotty service
We handle any problems and issues with classifieds for you. If you hear any complaints from users, send them our way!
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.
