Once you've bought or sold a part on Styckyd you'll wonder why it's never been done like this before.
Styckyd integrates with your message board to relieve you from managing your classified forums and adds a new revenue stream to help you maintain and grow your community.
The Styckyd marketplace is not like other classifieds management software. We've based it on a patent pending system we call the Total Market Management System (TMMS). The TMMS gradually builds a database of product information that is based on industry standards used by parts retailers and auto recyclers. This database enables us to offer advanced functionality like notifying buyers when the part they want has become available, or showing an average selling price for those Sparco seats your members are trying to sell.
Automated Escrow
When a part is bought on Styckyd, the buyer's money gets placed into an escrow account operated by Twenty12 Technologies. The money is only released to the seller once the part has reached the buyer and either they confirm that it is what they bought, or a short time has elapsed after we have received confirmation from our shipping agent that the package has arrived. This eliminates the "MassiveListOfScammers" frequently seen on message boards, as the would-be scammer will not receive any money.
Automated Shipping
The TMMS takes the guesswork out of shipping for sellers, and automatically gives buyers accurate shipping quotes based on their location. Once a part has been purchased the TMMS prepares a shipping label for the seller and will even schedule a pickup so they don't have to leave their house.
Stop Managing Your Classifieds!
We'll do it for you. Instead of moderating, mediating and deleting the spam from your classifieds, you can focus on the things that help you keep your community a place where members come to discuss their cars.
Earn Revenue
Our goal is not only to make buying and selling automotive parts easy; we also want to ensure that the forums that we and countless others have spent thousands of hours on continue to thrive. We think we can help by giving back to our partnered forums, so forums using the Styckyd plugin automatically earn 5% of our revenue.
Step 1:
Register your forum.
We simply need your forum URL, your billing address (so we know where to send the royalties), and which vehicles or brands your community focuses on. Then we'll provide you with an API key and a link to download the Styckyd plugin for vBulletin 3.5 or newer.
Step 2:
Install the plugin.
There is a simple procedure to follow to install the plugin—no web development experience necessary. Once installed, all you need to do is activate the plugin and you're good to go.
Step 3:
Relax.
We'll take care of the rest from here. Our job is making sure that your members can buy and sell parts easily, and we take our jobs very seriously.
