International Buyers: International Buyer Registration

Cześć! Hallo! Bonjour! Welcome, future international B-Stock buyers. So you’ve checked out our storefronts page and found some that you are interested in. That’s great! The next step is to get registered so you can begin bidding and buying bulk lots from your favorite retailers. 

The good news is the process is pretty painless..and what’s more, it’s free! Plus, we’re here to help you along the way. Let’s jump right in. 

B-Stock’s International Approval Process

First and foremost, regardless of where in the world you live, B-Stock requires all of our buyers to have a valid resale business. Make sure you have a business license or VAT Number (if available) from your country. For Canadian buyers, this would be GST/HST/QST tax numbers. If you cannot provide a business license or VAT number, you must provide proof of business in the form of government documentation. Your business name and business address need to be clearly visible on the documents you provide. Invoices are not an acceptable form of proof/documentation.

International Shipping

Third, be aware that international buyers are responsible for arranging their own shipping on all transactions. If you plan to use a freight forwarder to ship to a location in the U.S. prior to your country, there is an additional document you must submit. You will be required to provide a shipping document with the company’s letterhead confirming you are a current customer and are authorized to use that particular address. Here is a sample of what a shipping document looks like:

Finally, just a couple of items to note when bidding and purchasing internationally on B-Stock:

• As an international buyer, you are responsible for arranging your own shipping from all locations. 
• Payments made from outside the U.S. may be subject to an additional international wire fee by your bank (usually about $25 USD).
• Some auctions on the B-Stock Supply storefront are labeled as being USA only. As a result, international buyers cannot bid on these particular auctions (even if they have a US address).
• As part of the post-auction process, if the seller of the lot you win does not deem your documentation sufficient, they have the right to request more information or cancel the order.
• No buyers from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Yemen, Venezuela, or Syria will be approved on any sites due to USA federal regulations. 

We look forward to welcoming you to the B-Stock network of buyers! If you need help at any point along the way, please reach out to our Customer Support team. Once approved, you will have the chance to shop from over 1,500 live auctions daily! So, what are you waiting for?
