The same part, typed three times
Once in the yard system, once on eBay, once on the storefront. Every copy is another place for the price, the fitment or the count to drift.
For auto recyclers
Auto recycling software that sits beside your yard system. Not instead of it.
Powerlink, Pinnacle, Checkmate or ITrack keeps running the floor, the yard map and the books. YardTerminal takes the parts you want online, lists each one on eBay Motors and your Shopify storefront, and ends every listing the moment one of them sells.
- Your yard system stays where it is
- Nothing publishes without a person
- Sold once, ended everywhere
Your yard system was built for the floor. The channels are where the parts get lost.
The alternator that sold twice
It went at the counter at ten and on eBay at noon. One buyer gets a refund, and your account gets a cancellation it keeps counting.
Fitment nobody has time to finish
A buyer filtering by their own vehicle never sees a listing with no compatibility table. Filling one in by hand for every part does not survive a busy day.
Ended on one channel, live on another
It sold on the storefront, and the eBay listing is still up because ending it was somebody’s job. The next buyer pays for a part that is already gone.
What it adds. Four steps between a part on your shelf and a sale on any channel.
- 01
Decode the donor once
Seventeen characters. Year, make, model and engine, inherited by every part you pull from that vehicle. Nobody retypes a car.
- 02
The agent drafts, a person approves
Title, category, condition, photos in order and a price argued from your own sales. Someone at your yard reads it and presses approve. That step cannot be turned off.
- 03
One approval, every channel
The same record goes to eBay Motors and your Shopify storefront, each in its own format. Sell it at YardTerminal’s counter and it comes off the same count.
- 04
The first sale ends the rest
A sale on any channel ends the listing on every other one, and each ending is checked against the channel rather than assumed.
Your yard system keeps the yard. YardTerminal keeps the listings.
YardTerminal handles
- Listings on eBay Motors and your Shopify storefront
- One count per part, read by every channel
- Ending every other listing when a part sells
- Where each listed part sits, down to the bin
Stays with your yard system
- Your dismantling floor
- Your yard map
- Your scrap tickets
- Your accounting
- Sales rung up in your yard system. YardTerminal does not read them, so sell listed parts at its counter or the count cannot see the sale
A tool that promises to replace all of it in one step is selling you a migration, not a product. Read everything it does not do
What a recycler asks first.
No. YardTerminal is not a yard management system and does not try to be. If you run Powerlink, Pinnacle, Checkmate or ITrack, it sits alongside what you have and handles listing and channel inventory. It does not run your dismantling floor, your yard map, your scrap tickets or your accounting.
No, not today, and it does not read sales or stock from them either. The parts you want online are catalogued in YardTerminal: decode the donor once and every part pulled from it inherits the fitment, so each part is a few fields rather than a form. Sell those parts at YardTerminal’s counter as well as online, because a sale it never sees is a sale it cannot end the listings for.
We import them and match them to your inventory. Anything we cannot match with confidence is put in front of you rather than guessed at.
No. Not today, and there is no date. The channels that exist are eBay Motors, a Shopify storefront, and your counter. If Car-Part.com is where most of your parts move, YardTerminal covers the rest of your channels and not that one — and you should weigh that before you spend any time on it.
Not the same day. eBay requires every yard to register its own developer application, and their approval takes days — we cannot speed that up. Plan for about a week between joining and your first listing going live, and use the free plan to build your catalogue while you wait.
