Listing Guidelines and Specifications For Parts Vehicles

Click any of the attributes listed below for more details about each of them. It is important to follow these guidelines to ensure your data files are processed correctly.

Required Fields:

+ Unique ID

Definition & Use:

A unique identifier for the item that you use internally to distinguish your items. This ID is assigned by you and must be unique for each item you list.

IMPORTANT:

Once you submit an item with a unique ID, this identifier must not change when you upload a new file.

If we find an existing 'Unique Item ID' from one of your products already listed on JustParts when you upload a new file, we will overwrite the product information with the information in your most current file. If you change your 'Unique Item ID' when you upload a new file, we will create a duplicate listing with the information in your most current file. You will then have two active listings on JustParts. To avoid this, do not change your unique ID.
