A practical plan to scan Highway Autos' entire physical stock, build a central product database, launch an eBay store, and scaffold a standalone website — all within weeks.
Four things are blocking Highway Autos from selling online. Each one costs you money every month.
Your website, your domain, your product data — controlled by a third party. You can't change prices, add products, or even export your own stock list. One sale a month is the result, not the ceiling.
Parts arrive from multiple suppliers. There's no central database. You don't know what's on which shelf, what it's worth, or whether you're pricing it correctly. Every sale starts from memory, not from data.
Car parts sell on eBay every minute. You have the inventory — you just need a way to list it. Competitors are there. Your stock should be too.
Without eBay reference prices, you're guessing. Some parts sell below market value. Others sit unsold because the price is wrong. A database with live market data fixes this instantly.
We built a mobile barcode scanner that connects to eBay's live product database. Scan any EAN barcode → instant product name, market price, category, and images.
EAN-13, UPC, Code 128 — point camera, instant detection
Product name, market price, condition, brand — fetched live
Every scan saved with quantity, category, cost price. Search, filter, export.
17 car-part categories detected automatically from product name
Snap the actual part — stored alongside eBay reference images
Full inventory export — ready for bulk listing tools or website import
Two phases. Phase 1 gets you selling on eBay within days. Phase 2 gives you a website you actually own.
CAAR controls your site. You can't edit products. One sale a month. No eBay presence. No inventory record. Pricing is guesswork.
You own your inventory database. You sell on eBay daily. Your website shows real stock at your prices. New stock gets scanned in seconds. You know exactly what's on every shelf.
One-time setup costs + optional monthly support. No lock-in. You own everything.

You have the stock. The scanner is built. The eBay marketplace is waiting. All we need is a day in your shop to turn shelf parts into sellable products.
To move forward, we'll need: access to your physical shop for scanning, your eBay account details (or we'll help create one), and confirmation of which domain you want to use for the Phase 2 website.
