B. Part-Out thread Template – use this to setup your thread

C. Issue resolution

_______________________________________________________________

A. General Requirements

1. ELIGIBILITY - NO EXCEPTIONS:

a.) Member sellers ONLY! This sub-forum is for member-sellers only (See item b. below about member-eligibility to post in this sub-forum) If you have a vehicle to fully part-out, list it in this forum. No vendors or spammers, nor those wishing to sell multiple quantities of the same item. Any threads which violate this requirement will be subject to closure, deletion, and member banned, depending on severity of the offense! Please report if you see anyone violating this rule.

b.) You must have 10 posts (read what constitutes 10 posts below) to sell parts on, or participate in, this Site's Full Vehicle Part-out sub-forum.

* To prevent spamming and scamming, we've adopted a 10-post minimum rule, before you may post-up or post-in this sub-forum

* All ten posts must be outside the Marketplace Forum (and all of its sub-forums), i.e., no posts or questions in a seller or vendor thread, no Want to Buy (WTB) / Want to Trade (WTT) threads, and no For Sale threads.

* Post or threads from non-eligible members will be removed. Repeated violations will result in time off the site and could ultimately result in a ban from the site.

2. DOCUMENTATION - NO EXCEPTIONS:

a.) Location of part-out items must be listed in your title. Please post the state or province, country, etc where your item is located

b.) Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) must be listed. Please list the VIN in your vehicle description. See Part-out Template, Item B. 2. below for more information.

c.) Picture/s of the listed item must be included within 24-hours of thread posting. Within 24-hours of posting your thread, you must upload actual pictures of the part you are selling in the current, sell-able condition to your sale thread. Use the New Reply, Manage Attachments, Browse, Open Upload process to upload your photos. Links to other similar items for sale, and picture(s) from the manufacturer's website are not valid.

* You may also provide a link to any additional off-site pictures or even a link to pictures of your part for sale on another site, provided you already have the required pictures loaded on this site.

* URLs or a link in lieu of the 24-hour posting requirement will result in the thread being closed.

* Misrepresentation of an item is unacceptable and offenders may be permanently banned.

d.) Post a reasonable price. We are not eBay, nor an auction site, so "make an offer" is not acceptable. Reasonable price means that you have done some research and identified a fair price-point that will actually sell. Requesting "offers" without a reasonable starting point is essentially the same as requesting members to "bid" on your item(s). Listing intentional over-inflated pricing is also NOT allowed and will be subject to closure or infractions.

3. LISTING INFORMATION - NO EXCEPTIONS

a.) List up all parts that are available for sale. Only listed part-out items will be sold.

b.) Members looking for parts from the seller’s vehicle that are not listed, must post up a WTB item in the WTB forum and link it into seller's thread. Sellers can verify that they have the part(s) and post it up as available in their Items Available listing with a price. Members who post WTB requests for parts will have first right of refusal on WTB items listed by the Seller.

c.) Retain all original post information. Don't delete anything. Member-sellers are required to retain all original post materials, e.g., listing information, photos, price(s), etc., if/when a part is Sold or is no longer available for sale. This "No Editing Out" policy protects both the buyer and seller and gives other members a price-point to use in establishing the potential market value of their part(s).

d.) Post parts that are ready to sell. Otherwise, please make sure you let potential buyers know when the part will be available.

e.) Keep all transactional information in the thread. All transactions must be kept in the post, including offers for the part(s), and acceptance of the offer by the seller. Use PMs only to exchange payment or pickup/delivery information.

f.) Member-buyer(s) and sold price will be identified in the thread. Under Items Sold, the member-buyer who purchased the part(s) and the price at which the item(s) sold, will be listed. See the Set-up Template below for specific guidance.

4. POST-SALE INFORMATION

a.) Shipping/Handling may be part of the sale. Once a part is sold, the sale is not over. Making sure the item is delivered (or shipped properly and arrives to the intended buyer) is the responsibility of the seller unless other agreements have been reached.

b.) Using PayPal. Never use PayPal's "gift" feature to purchase a anything on the site. If the only way a seller will "sell" is if the buyer acquiesces and uses the Gift choice, then, this may very well be a scam and buyers are warned. If you use PayPal's Gift feature, and the seller receives the funds, from PayPal's perspective, then you the buyer truly intended this as a "Gift" and PayPal will not attempt to collect from the seller no matter how much you protest. A gift is a gift. However, if you choose to use PayPal's other options to purchase an item from a seller, you have a limit of 45 days from the original date of purchase during which you may lodge a dispute and petition for a refund. 60 days from the original date of purchase if paid by a Visa or MasterCard with your bank. The sooner you contact PayPal and/or your bank, the better your chances of regaining your funds.

c.) Disputes must be handled privately. If there is a problem or issue, you must first work it out amongst yourselves via PM, email or other communication methods. Do not post in the open forums until you have contacted the OP to first attempt to resolve the issue. Only report poor sales IF you have no success in coming to an agreement.

d.) Poor Seller / Buyer Note. Any member who is a poor seller/buyer and is unwilling to resolve any issues will be placed on a time out or banned depending on the severity of the offense. This will not be a unilateral decision, but will be based on an assessment of the situation by the moderators.

e.) Use i-Trader. i-Trader enables other members to review transactions between a potential seller and other members and then determine if they want to do business with that seller.

* For those members who have had a good experience, then post a POSITIVE rating

* If there was an issue and it was resolved, please post a POSITIVE (because it was resolved) or a NEUTRAL rating

* If you have a bad experience with a member, and are unable to resolve the issue, then post a NEGATIVE rating and a short note describing the issue(s)

* In all cases, remember that you need to work it out, do not just immediately post a negative rating

Remember, the moderators are only able to police what we see and we cannot see everything. If you see a violation, please report the thread or send a PM to any of us. And more than anything, BUY OR SELL AT YOUR OWN RISK!

B. Part-Out thread Template – use this template to setup your thread

1. Create a title that indicates where the vehicle is located and what is contained in the thread.

Use this example: Full Part-Out (MD): 2005 Legacy GT Limited Sedan, OBP

2. Then create the thread itself. Use this example:

2005 Legacy GT 5MT Limited Sedan, 60K miles, rolled-over attempting to avoid a deer. All glass except the front windshield and sunroof and all body parts except the roof, right front fender and door are in excellent condition. Serviced regularly, with all service provided by the local Subaru dealership. 60K service just completed. Everything is off the vehicle and ready for sale. All items have 60K miles and prices are firm unless otherwise indicated.

Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):

Important Notes:

a. If you don’t see it listed here, post up a link to your WTB forum item and if I have it, I’ll post it up for sale. I will not respond in this thread, nor to PMs for parts that are not listed in your WTB thread.

b. I only accept PayPal and U.S. Postal Money Orders. All items plus shipping and PayPal 3% fee.
