Review buyer offers

Open received buyer offers

In the seller workspace, select Sale Requests. Buyer purchase proposals appear in Sale requests, grouped by comparable inventory. Select a buyer’s name to open that proposal.

Owner or Manager access in the seller business is required for decisions. Receiving proposals does not require creating another request from this screen. Manage the underlying eligible inventory through Products.

Search, filter and refresh

1. In Search requests, type a product, SKU or buyer name. Matching proposal rows update as you type.
2. Use Status to choose All, Pending, Accepted, Rejected, Counteroffer sent, Expired, Withdrawn or Countered. This changes the view, not the saved proposals.
3. Choose All and clear the search text to return to the full received-offer list.
4. Select Refresh to request the latest workspace data. Read the update indicator for connecting, updating, offline or retrying states.

The active page normally checks for updates every five seconds. It pauses while a review dialog is open or the page is hidden, and indicates offline or retrying conditions. Refresh is useful when returning to a decision, but it does not bypass a deadline or eligibility check.

Compare prices and quantities

Read the product and SKU, condition and proposal count above each group. Asking minimum is the stored merchandise reserve. Each buyer row separates Offer / unit, Quantity, Total offer, Of asking minimum and Status.

• For comparable single-product inventory, the highest merchandise unit price appears first. Compare the requested quantities as well as the whole-lot totals.
• Of asking minimum compares that proposal’s merchandise amount with its own stored whole-lot reserve. It is not your profit margin or the platform fee.
• Highest active offer or Joint highest identifies eligible active buyer prices. Seller counteroffers are separate proposals and are not marked as the highest active buyer offer.
• Mixed merchandise is compared within its own lot; a single comparable unit price may not be available.

Open the offer details

1. Select the buyer name in the comparison row. Offer from [buyer] opens with the product, condition, SKU and current decision status.
2. Review Total Offer, Offer per Unit and Requested quantity. The currently available quantity is shown separately from the quantity requested for the whole lot.
3. Read Estimated Net Proceeds and Offer breakdown: Merchandise offer, Recovery Fee and Shipping paid by buyer.
4. Review Delivery terms: the provided Ship to city/country and Shipping Terms. Read Buyer note when supplied.
5. Use Price comparison for the asking minimum and your own comparable received offers. A missing average means there is insufficient comparable evidence; it is not an external market valuation.
6. Select All buyer offers to return to the list. The Sale request link in the detail opens the request-level view.

For the sample $1,560.00 merchandise proposal, a stored 8% recovery fee is $124.80. Adding $35.00 buyer-paid shipping gives estimated seller proceeds of $1,470.20, before actual carrier costs. With $0.00 tax, the buyer total is $1,595.00. These are proposal calculations, not confirmation of payment, bank payout or completed earnings.

Review and accept a proposal

1. On a Pending buyer proposal, select Accept. For a Sale Request, wait until its bidding window has closed; the reason below the buttons explains an unavailable action.
2. In Review offer & locked fee, read Merchandise subtotal, Recovery fee, Shipping, Tax, Seller proceeds and Buyer total.
3. If the proposal and terms are correct, the final action is Accept offer & reserve inventory. Close the dialog to leave the proposal undecided.
4. On a successful acceptance, the app creates an order, locks the reviewed fee rate and reserves the whole-lot stock for payment. Open that order to check its actual payment and reservation status.

The server rechecks business eligibility, current stock, the active proposal, the listing deadline and the fee rate. If stock was reserved elsewhere, the proposal changed or the fee rate differs, refresh and review the new state before retrying. Accepting one proposal rejects other open proposals for that same lot; it does not select all offers in the comparison group.

Reject a purchase proposal

1. On the offer detail, select Reject.
2. In Decline purchase offer, confirm the lot, buyer and amount. The dialog explains the inventory and notification effects.
3. Select Decline offer to close that proposal, or close the dialog to leave it unchanged.
4. After success, the proposal is Rejected and the buyer can see the decision in My offers. No order or inventory reservation is created by rejecting it.

The app records the buyer notification. The displayed email state distinguishes a queued message, delivery configuration issues, suppression in a demo, failure and sending to the email provider. A proposal decision is not proof that the buyer received an email.

Open request-level inventory details

1. Open the Sale request link from an offer detail. On the individual request view, expand Inventory details · [request title].
2. Read Review status, Bidding closes and Condition disclosure & description. A request awaiting approval can show Starts after approval.
3. Use All buyer offers to leave this request-specific view and return to the received-offer list.

Pause or resubmit a request

With management access, a Published or Under-review request can show Pause request. Selecting it runs immediately: the request becomes Paused and its open Pending or seller-counter proposals are rejected. It does not open a confirmation dialog. Check the request before using it.

A Draft or Paused Sale Request can show Submit for review. It submits the inventory for eligibility review, rather than reopening bidding immediately. A bidding window that has already closed cannot be reopened; a new request is required.

Create an invitation for private inventory

1. For an eligible Published private request, select Create invitation link to open Invite a wholesale buyer.
2. Review the scope before using Generate invitation. It creates a seven-day private link and invalidates the previous link.
3. After generation, Secure buyer invitation displays the link and Copy link copies it. Invited buyers still need a verified business account.
