Lead activity
Seller reports can show inquiries, call clicks, text clicks, email clicks, and lead status without claiming sales outcomes.
Seller advertising
Seller marketing options for approved marketplace inventory.
Parts Masters can help sellers promote approved listings and seller visibility while keeping buyer transactions, billing, freight, escrow, and final sale terms off the website.
Advertising is sold and approved manually. Parts Masters does not offer automated billing, impression promises, lead-volume promises, checkout, payment handling, freight coordination, escrow, or fulfillment.
Seller proof
Show sellers what Parts Masters can prove before asking for more inventory.
The v1 seller pitch is lead visibility, listing quality, and demand reporting. It is not checkout, payment processing, fulfillment, escrow, financing, or buyer-volume promises.
Inventory coverage
Reports can show active listings, stale listings, category coverage, and listings that need seller confirmation.
Buyer demand signals
Zero-result searches, wanted requests, saved-search intent, and listing views help sellers decide what inventory to add next.
Manual review gates
New sellers, source permissions, photos, listing quality, and paid marketing placements stay manually approved.
Seller proof must use real site events, real listings, approved seller data, and clearly labeled manual reports. Placeholder or sample inventory can support UX validation, but not customer result claims.
Manual quote model
Internal profitability model until real seller lead data exists.
Sample planning data only. These figures are internal manual quote examples, not public seller offers, and not actual Parts Masters seller results, not guaranteed lead totals, and not customer claims. Use this model for planning and seller conversations only until real seller reports replace the sample numbers.

Seller resources
Use the right tool for the inventory or shop problem.
Parts Masters, Surplix/eAgent, and Shop Command serve different parts of the heavy-duty workflow. Keep the products separate, use Parts Masters for marketplace discovery and seller contact, use Surplix/eAgent for eBay listing operations, and use Shop Command for repair-shop operations.
Parts Masters
Publishing approved marketplace listings, helping buyers search by real inventory clues, routing direct seller contact, and capturing wanted demand when inventory is missing.
- A seller wants approved parts, trucks, trailers, or equipment discovered by buyers.
- A buyer needs to search public listings or post a wanted request instead of checking out online.
Surplix / eAgent
Listing research, source-labeled pricing decisions, repricing review, eBay inventory workflow support, and seller-controlled listing operations.
- A seller already sells parts on eBay and needs better research, listing review, or repricing operations.
- A seller needs source-labeled comp evidence before approving marketplace listing changes.
Shop Command
Service orders, technician time, parts workflow, invoicing readiness, customer history, and day-to-day shop operations.
- A repair shop or fleet service team needs operational software, not a public marketplace listing.
- A seller also runs a service department and needs better work-order, technician, parts, and invoicing workflow.
No shared checkout, bundle promise, automatic integration, guaranteed leads, guaranteed sales, or guaranteed fitment is implied.
Featured listings
Promote specific active listings on homepage, category, search, or seller profile surfaces.
Best after the listing is active, permissioned, current, and ready for direct seller follow-up.
Review featured listingsCategory sponsorships
Plan manual sponsorship around a buyer category such as parts, trucks, trailers, or later equipment.
Best after category traffic, seller fit, reporting ownership, and inventory coverage are reviewed.
Discuss category sponsorshipBanner ad planning
Prepare banner-style seller visibility for approved creative and destination links.
Live banner delivery remains gated until impression tracking, click tracking, and reporting are ready.
Review banner ad gateAdvertising readiness
- Approved inventory
- Listings need admin review, source permission, current availability, and seller response ownership.
- Clear destination
- Promoted clicks should route to listings, seller profiles, or contact flows that do not imply online checkout.
- Reporting owner
- Lead, click, and impression reporting must have a manual owner before paid promotion expands.
- Manual commercial terms
- Pricing, insertion orders, dates, cancellation, and renewal terms stay outside automated billing.
Manual sales boundary
Seller marketing starts after listings, seller identity, source permissions, creative claims, destination links, and lead routing are reviewed. Category sponsorships and banner-style ads should stay manual until reporting coverage is strong enough to explain performance clearly.
Do not sell advertising as checkout, payment processing, lead guarantees, Parts Masters endorsement, freight help, or fulfillment.
Seller and inventory review
Confirm the seller is approved and the promoted inventory or category has enough quality listings to justify marketing.
Placement fit
Match the seller goal to featured listings, category sponsorship, or banner-style planning without promising ranking permanence.
Manual sales approval
Agree on placement window, scope, creative, reporting, and commercial terms outside automated checkout.
Performance review
Review leads, seller response quality, stale inventory, placement dates, and renewal decisions before extension.
