Seller checklist
- Check titles, keywords, and images for Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler, Mopar, and related logos
- Pay particular attention to off-road parts, emblem decals, grilles, wheel caps, and keychains
- Make clear that ‘fits / for [model]’ parts are compatible aftermarket items, not genuine parts
