To look at the brighter side of the coin,
Not only it is more profitable for both the buyer and the seller to buy car parts online, it is also hassle free and effortless.

Both the parties benefit on account of flexible timings.
Due to the absence of various levels of agents in the real time Car parts industry, direct online transactions enable the seller to offer lucrative discounts to the customers, and the customers get better value for their money.
Selling and Buying car parts online also makes transactions possible from any part of the world to any part of the world, thus making it easier for the seller to find buyers in the international market, and the buyers to find sellers of their desired car spare part easily.
However, all this doesn't comes without a few drawbacks, like
In absence of real time testing of the car spare parts ordered, chances of receiving incompatible/faulty car parts.
The time and cost involved in shipping of the car parts.
The possibility of damage to the car spare part ordered during shipping.
Even then, the long list of merits outnumbers the demerits of buying car parts online. For a relatively new, and still in transition industry, the success rate of the online car spare parts industry remains really impressive!
