Getting Started: International Buyer Registration

Ready to join the world’s largest B2B platform for returned and excess inventory?

Consider this your quick start guide to registering on B-Stock as an international buyer. We list all the information you will need to have on hand, including which sellers are available to international buyers and shipping requirements.

Who Can Buy on B-Stock

Regardless of where in the world you live, all B-Stock buyers are required to have a valid resale business. That means your business intends to sell inventory purchased on B-Stock.

There are a few things to note before you apply:

• Business requirement: You must be able to provide a business license and VAT number (find your country’s tax equivalent here).
• Seller restrictions: Not all inventory can be resold outside the US.
• Country restrictions: Buyers from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Yemen, Nigeria, Venezuela, or Syria are not eligible due to USA federal regulations.

What You Need To Start Registration

Here is a summary of all the information that makes up your Buyer Profile:

• Business Name: The name of your business (you won’t be able to change this later!)
• Business Address: The address you have listed on your business’s tax documents. PO Box addresses will not be accepted.
• VAT/Reseller tax ID*: This is issued by the state government to authorize the collection of tax at the time of sale to an end consumer/customer. International buyers may know this as a VAT number.
• Ship-To Address: The location where you will be receiving orders. You may enter additional addresses if you have multiple ship-to locations.
  • Commercial vs Residential: You will also be asked if your address is zoned for commercial or residential and if you are able to unload trucks at this location. This is important for future order deliveries. Check your city’s government website for local zoning maps.
• Contact Details: Your phone/mobile number for receiving shipping updates, payment notifications, and inventory alerts (per your notification settings).
• Import/Export Documents: Freight forwarder information is required for cross-border shopping.
• Responsible Recycling Documents (if applicable): If your business is R2-certified, you have the option to add in your documentation. Certain mobile sellers require this to shop on their storefront.
