Seller placement checklist
Use this checklist to review seller approval, source rights, active inventory, contact routing, buyer fallback, measurement labels, and rollback before a seller shares a Parts Masters URL, widget, QR code, or manual referral link.
Placement checklist guidance only. This is not actual seller performance, not verified seller results, not public seller pricing, and not a lead, sales, traffic, backlink, ranking, or SEO guarantee. Parts Masters remains a direct-contact marketplace. Buyers confirm price, condition, fitment, freight, payment, title, and availability directly with sellers.
Owner approval gates
The checklist keeps hosted URLs, seller website links, widget snippets, QR codes, printed links, and manual shares inside one review path before any seller receives final placement copy.
Share an approved seller inventory page after the seller confirms the public URL, inventory mix, and direct contact path.
Seller approval, active approved listings, source/photo rights, seller profile, and reviewed destination URL.
A hosted inventory URL is not a traffic, backlink, SEO, lead, sale, ranking, fitment, price, condition, or availability guarantee.Let an approved seller manually add a reviewed Parts Masters link on their own website, profile, or resource page.
Seller website owner approval, intended page URL, link copy, destination URL, source label, and rollback owner.
This checklist does not authorize seller website edits, backlinks, SEO promises, analytics activation, or third-party provider changes.Review the embeddable inventory widget on desktop and mobile before a seller receives a final snippet.
Widget preview screenshot, active inventory count, contact path, fallback path, script owner, and rollback steps.
Widget preview does not install a script, change a seller site, activate analytics, start call tracking, send SMS, or deliver CRM records.Use a reviewed URL for printed counter cards, QR codes, quote sheets, or trade-show handouts only after owner approval.
Final URL, printed placement owner, expiration or review date, seller approval, and buyer safety copy.
A QR or printed link does not create buyer records, valid leads, outreach, seller notifications, or public seller-result proof.Use a source-labeled link in a manual seller-approved conversation, email signature, or non-automated buyer handoff.
Approved sender context, link owner, source label, opt-out/compliance review when email is used, and no automation.
This checklist does not authorize bulk outreach, contact-form submission, CRM import, email provider delivery, call tracking, or SMS.Route sellers to the right separate product when the conversation is about eBay listing operations or shop operations instead of marketplace placement.
Product-fit reason, manual follow-up owner, separate-product context, and no implied bundle or live integration.
Surplix/eAgent and Shop Command referral intent does not mutate eBay, publish inventory, create checkout, or prove Parts Masters seller results.Checklist gates
Seller placements should not go live from Codex. This checklist prepares the owner review record for a later manual approval and seller-controlled placement.
Seller name, approver, placement type, destination URL, placement copy, source label, and date.
No final link, widget, QR code, or website placement until the seller explicitly approves it.Rights attestation, source URL policy, photo rights, inventory authority, and reviewer notes.
No referral push when source rights, image rights, or seller authority are unclear.Public listing status, listing freshness, seller inventory URL, category mix, and hidden/blocker notes.
Do not place a seller referral link for empty, pending, stale, blocked, or unapproved inventory.Approved phone, text, email, inquiry recipient, branch owner, and seller response owner.
No buyer referral path goes live until the seller confirms who receives buyer interest.Wanted request, saved search, seller profile, no-result recovery, and direct-contact disclaimer checks.
Seller placement must still be useful when a buyer cannot find a matching listing.Internal source, sourcePage, intent, surface, workflow, owner, rollback trigger, and removal path.
No placement without a way to identify the source and remove or revise the link if it breaks.No DNS, Cloudflare, analytics, call tracking, SMS, CRM, email provider, storage, or production DB changes.
Any third-party provider activation needs separate approval, credentials, legal review, and validation.Manual rollout
This table is an internal owner-review workflow. It does not send outreach, install scripts, activate analytics, update seller sites, or publish seller-result claims.
| Step | Owner action | Rollback check |
|---|---|---|
| Draft the placement record | Record seller, destination URL, source label, placement type, contact owner, fallback route, and intended public copy. | Confirm there is a named owner who can remove the link or widget quickly. |
| Preview the buyer path | Open the destination on desktop and mobile and verify inventory, seller identity, direct contact, wanted fallback, and no-checkout copy. | Do not approve if the page has stale inventory, broken links, overlap, or unsupported claims. |
| Collect seller and owner signoff | Save seller approval, owner approval, source/photo rights, contact routing, and the exact placement copy. | Hold the placement if approval is verbal-only, incomplete, or tied to unapproved provider changes. |
| Share the reviewed placement only | Hand off the approved URL or snippet manually with the reviewed source label and no automated outreach. | Do not send bulk email, submit forms, install scripts, or change a seller website from Codex. |
| Review early activity manually | Use bounded source context and sample reporting language until real seller lead history is safe to discuss. | Remove or revise the placement if inventory, contact routing, rights, or buyer fallback changes. |
Use for approved public inventory, hosted seller pages, widgets, referral reports, wanted fallback, direct seller contact, and seller placement review.
Parts Masters does not process checkout, escrow, payment, freight, title transfer, or guaranteed fitment and availability.Review next stepUse when a seller needs separate eBay listing research, repricing review, comp evidence, or seller-controlled listing operations.
This does not authorize Parts Masters to mutate live eBay listings, publish inventory, create checkout, or claim seller results.Review next stepUse when the operator needs separate shop operations support for service orders, technician time, parts workflow, customer history, and invoicing readiness.
Shop Command is separate shop software, not Parts Masters seller proof, checkout, payment, freight, or lead guarantee.Review next stepUse the placement runbook to create the owner log row before handoff.
