Fix Problems in Inconsistency Report for Car-Part Pro™
Are you giving your customers all the information they need when they search on Car-Part.com? When your part grade and description have conflicting information, the part grade is removed from the part listing on Car-Part.com. While it has always been important to fix these inconsistencies as quickly as possible to ensure correct listings on Car-Part.com, the recent national release of Car-Part Pro has made it even more important that your parts are graded correctly with no discrepancies.
Car-Part Pro allows high-volume buyers like body shops and insurance appraisers to search for your parts by service level information and part quality. They can choose to view only those parts that meet their quality/grade requirements, so these buyers won't see your part at all if your grade has been removed from your parts listing because of inconsistencies.
If you are a Car-Part Gold member, you not only can list your parts on Car-Part Pro for free, but you can also access a Part Grading Inconsistency Report which outlines any conflicting part information in your inventory uploads (these parts with conflicting information do not appear graded on Car-Part.com). To view this report, go to your Car-Part.com Statistics and Reports page.
- If Car-Part.com hosts your website, your Car-Part.com Statistics and Reports page is located at http://YOURWEBSITE.com/logs/reports
- If Car-Part.com does not host your website, your Car-Part.com Statistics and Reports page is located at http://search####.used-auto-parts.biz/reports (where #### is your Car-Part account number)
On this page, the Part Grading Inconsistency Report link will be available in your list of report types. (If you do not know your login information for your Car-Part.com Statistics and Reports page, or if you need your Car-Part account number and don't know it, contact your support rep. This page should only be accessed by a manager, because it gives access to other products as well.)
If you need help interpreting the Part Grading Inconsistency Report, refer to the Statistics and Reports user guide, which is available on our Products site.
