Measurement hooks

Measure marketplace intent without turning clicks into seller promises.

Parts Masters can preserve source context from search, guides, wanted requests, saved searches, seller contact paths, and software-fit CTAs so future seller reporting starts with clean evidence.

Measurement hooks are report-only planning and attribution context. They are not actual seller performance, not verified seller results, not public seller pricing, and not a lead or sales guarantee. Parts Masters remains a direct-contact marketplace. Buyers confirm price, condition, fitment, freight, payment, title, and availability directly with sellers.

Intent taxonomy

What Parts Masters can measure before stronger seller proof exists.

These hooks preserve bounded source context from public marketplace paths. They help future reporting explain where interest started without turning clicks into checkout, seller results, or lead guarantees.

Listing readiness

No-result recovery

A buyer reached a missing-inventory state and chose a next step instead of abandoning the search.

Use aggregate demand to decide which categories, states, part families, trucks, or trailers need seller intake.

No-result recovery is not proof that a seller received a lead, sale, or guaranteed demand.

Guide click

A buyer or seller used an education page to understand source-grounded search, saved searches, wanted requests, source rights, or marketplace safety.

Use guide interest to improve onboarding resources and search-help links before adding paid traffic.

Guide clicks are education signals only, not purchase intent, seller results, or conversion proof.

Saved-search start

A buyer started saving a repeat search for inventory that may appear later.

Use aggregate saved-search demand to prioritize supply acquisition and cleanup.

Saved searches do not guarantee alerts, seller responses, buyer commitments, leads, or sales.

Wanted-request start

A buyer started a wanted request when public listings did not answer the need.

Use safe wanted-request context for manual review and approved seller follow-up planning.

No seller broadcast, buyer contact sharing, email, SMS, CRM delivery, or outreach is authorized by this signal.

Seller-contact start

A buyer opened a seller contact path such as listing inquiry, phone, text, email, or seller profile.

Use seller-scoped activity to evaluate contact routing after real lead history exists.

Contact starts are activity signals, not verified sales, revenue, profit, ROI, or seller performance proof.

Seller-intake start

A seller started a manual intake or listing-readiness path.

Use source and segment context to understand which seller groups need import cleanup, source-rights review, or contact-routing help.

Seller intake does not publish inventory, approve source rights, activate paid visibility, or create public pricing.

Seller-demo start

A seller or operator started a manual demo path from a seller resource, pricing, advertising, or software-fit page.

Use source context to prepare the right manual follow-up agenda.

Demo starts do not approve billing, seller pricing, live integrations, or public result claims.

Surplix/eAgent referral intent

A seller showed interest in separate eBay listing research, repricing review, or listing-operations help.

Route the conversation to Surplix/eAgent only when the problem is eBay listing operations, not Parts Masters checkout.

This is a separate-product referral signal. It does not mutate eBay, publish Parts Masters inventory, or create checkout.

Shop Command referral intent

A repair shop or fleet operator showed interest in service orders, technician time, parts workflow, customer history, or invoicing readiness.

Route the conversation to Shop Command when the problem is shop operations rather than public marketplace supply.

This is a separate-product referral signal. It is not Parts Masters seller proof, checkout, payment, freight, or lead guarantee.

Privacy and mutation boundaries

  • Use internal source paths and non-sensitive query parameters only.
  • Strip PII-like query keys such as email, phone, contact, name, password, token, secret, and key from source context.
  • No checkout, no CRM writes, no SMS or call-tracking actions, and no seller notifications are enabled by these hooks.
  • Do not add third-party analytics, CRM webhooks, call tracking, SMS attribution, production imports, storage uploads, or seller notifications without a separate approved workflow.
  • Do not present intent clicks as real seller lead history, verified seller results, guaranteed leads, guaranteed sales, revenue, ROI, or public seller pricing.
  • Keep Surplix/eAgent and Shop Command separate from Parts Masters unless a named integration is separately approved and proven.

Separate software referral paths

Surplix/eAgent fits separate eBay listing research and seller-controlled listing operations. Shop Command fits service orders, technician time, parts workflow, customer history, and invoicing readiness. Parts Masters stays the direct-contact marketplace unless a named workflow is separately approved and proven.
