Review the quantity and purchasing terms
- Check the seller, product description, Quantity, Condition, Location and Fulfillment.
- Read Offer deadline. New Sale Requests collect proposals during their bidding window; after it closes, the seller reviews the received offers.
- Read Reserve price · entire lot and the displayed per-unit reference. The proposal must cover the entire listed lot, at or above its stored minimum.
- Review Shipping, Tax and Buyer total at this price. Shipping and tax are separate from the merchandise amount you enter.
- Scroll to Inventory details and check every Product / SKU, Quantity, Unit retail and Condition details row. Mixed lots are sold together too.
In this guide’s sample, 120 tee units have a whole-lot minimum of $1,440.00, or $12.00 per unit. The form is filled with an unsent $1,500.00 merchandise proposal, or $12.50 per unit. With the sample’s $35.00 shipping and $0.00 tax, the buyer total at that proposed price would be $1,535.00. The accepted amounts are reviewed again before payment.
Fill in Make a wholesale offer
- Select Make an offer on the lot page. The Make a wholesale offer dialog opens; opening it does not create an offer.
- Enter Whole-lot offer (USD) in dollars and cents. The starting value is the whole-lot reserve, and the entered amount cannot be below that reserve.
- If you provide destination information, select Ship to country and enter Ship to city. Provide both fields together or leave both unspecified. The city accepts up to 100 characters.
- Optionally add a Pickup / purchasing note of up to 1,000 characters, such as collection plans or purchasing information for the seller.
- Review the minimum, shipping, tax and expiry explanation below the fields. Close the dialog if you want to leave this proposal unsent.
Submit and find your offer
- When the proposal is ready, select Submit offer once and wait for the result.
- On a successful submission, the dialog closes and My offers opens. Find the product and check Quantity, Unit offer, Offer total and Status.
- Expand Offer details in that row to review the saved purchasing note and expiry. The seller can review the received proposal in Sale requests.
- If an error appears, read it before retrying. Correct the amount or destination fields as needed, and check My offers if you are unsure whether a previous submission succeeded.
Only one unexpired Pending proposal from your business can exist for the same lot. The app rejects another Pending offer instead of adding a duplicate. Changing the amount requires following the available withdrawal and new-offer path while bidding is still open; there is no Edit offer button in My offers.
Submitting creates a proposal, not an order or a payment. No inventory is reserved until an eligible proposal is accepted. Follow Status & next steps for My offers and the actions that appear after the seller responds.
