FAQ
Common questions about Parts Syndicate
Q
How much does it cost to list on Parts Syndicate?
Parts Syndicate is currently free for early adopters. No listing fees, no selling fees, and no credit card required to get started. We're building our community first — monetization comes later for power sellers who need bulk features. Get in now to lock in early adopter perks.
Q
What is fitment verification on Parts Syndicate?
Fitment verification is our community-backed system that confirms which parts fit which cars. Unlike stale database lookups on legacy sites, our fitment data combines OEM parts databases with real-world knowledge from enthusiasts who have restored and maintained these vehicles. When you see "Verified fitment," it means someone has successfully used that part on that vehicle.
Q
How does the bulk car unlock system work?
Upload photos of a donor car from multiple angles, and our AI generates complete listings for every major component in minutes. The system identifies parts, generates titles and descriptions, pulls fitment data, and creates inventory-ready listings. What would take hours of manual listing work happens automatically — you review, adjust if needed, and publish.
Q
Can I import existing listings from other platforms?
We're building import tools for major platforms. Currently, the fastest way to get your parts on Parts Syndicate is using our bulk upload or listing generation features. Join our Discord to get notified when import tools launch — early access goes to active community members.
Q
What makes Parts Syndicate different from eBay or Facebook Marketplace?
Parts Syndicate is built specifically for car enthusiasts parting out vehicles. eBay is generic, expensive, and lacks enthusiast-focused features. Facebook Marketplace has no fitment data, no permanent storefront, and is plagued by flakes and time-wasters. Parts Syndicate combines AI-powered fitment, permanent searchable storefronts, and a community of serious buyers and sellers.
Q
How does community verification work?
Community verification allows enthusiasts to confirm fitment based on real-world restoration experience. If you've used a part on a vehicle, you can verify that fitment. Buyers see who verified it and their reputation in the community. This creates trust that database-only sites can't match — you're hearing from people who've restored these cars, not just a computer.
Q
Do I need to be a mechanic or shop to use Parts Syndicate?
No. Parts Syndicate is built for enthusiasts of all experience levels. Whether you're parting out one project car or running a full-time parts business, our AI does the heavy lifting. You don't need parts expertise to list — our system provides fitment data, descriptions, and technical details automatically.
Q
What happens if I list a part and it doesn't sell?
Your listing stays in your storefront forever, findable by search. Unlike forums where posts get buried or Facebook where listings expire, your Parts Syndicate listings are permanently indexed and searchable. Buyers will find your parts weeks or months later when they search for that specific component.
Q
Is Parts Syndicate only for imports and performance cars?
Parts Syndicate works for all vehicle types, but our initial community focus is 90s JDM cult car platforms. We're starting with Z32 300ZX, then expanding to MKIV Supra, FD RX-7, NSX, and R32 GT-R. As our community grows, we'll expand to additional enthusiast platforms. Join now and help shape what platforms we prioritize next.
