  Information For Sellers  

If you have a product to sell, chances are that you have already posted on other international trade sites. You may have even succeeded in selling your product.

We are asking you to try something different with the hopes that you will be even more successful.

You are missing many sales right now because of the risk involved in buying through an international trade site. In order to make more sales we are asking you to try a different approach. You have nothing to loose, and a lot to gain.

Here are the rules:

1. Be honest about the quality of your product. Customers are using this website because they want to do business with honest sellers. Americans are looking for the lowest prices and good to excellent quality. If customers complain about the quality of a product from a manufacturer, that manufacturer will not be allowed to place ads on our website. This means that if you sell high quality products, you will have more customers.

2. All payment will go through U.S. Import Services. We will collect payment in full from the buyer before we place the order with you. The payment will be placed in an escrow account, and released when the shipment has been sent. This protects you as a seller, and will encourage many buyers to buy from you. Many Americans do not buy from you because of the danger involved. Never ask buyers to send you money directly. We have asked buyers to inform us if they are asked to send money directly to a seller.

3. Our fee is charged to the seller. You as the seller will be charged 5% of the invoiced value of the sale. The same fee is charged to all sellers. You must remember to add this fee to the price of your product. If the final sale is $100 U.S. dollars, we will collect $100 U.S. dollars from the buyer, and will send you $95 U.S. dollars. The buyer will pay the wire transfer fee to the U.S. bank, and the seller will pay any bank fees charged by your bank. This also must be considered and added to the negotiated price. There is no fee to post an ad. You will only pay a fee when you complete a sale.

4. Americans like to see the prices of the items that they are looking for. Many sales are lost because of the difficulty of asking for a quote, and receiving the final price. Our suggestion is that you put the price of your item in your ad. You are free to negotiate the price from that point, but remember, the reason that people are on our website is because they are looking for the lowest price.

5. In almost every case, a successful sale will be because of an internet search. Many people will find your product because they are on our website looking for a product. If you would like to drastically increase your chances of a sale, you should consider advertisement. Although we are not associated, or in any way paid by Google, we suggest that you use Google Advertisement. The way that it works is that you pay a small amount (usually only a few pennies) each time a customer clicks on your ad. In return Google (the largest internet search engine) makes sure customers see your ad. You can set a budget of just a few dollars per month if you like, or as much as you want. The more you are willing to spend, the more people will see your ad. If you are interested in setting up Google advertisements, just click here. Make sure you cut and paste your ad URL generated in our classified ad software as the website in your Google ad. That will take customers directly to your ad on this website.

If you are willing to try this different approach go to the classified section of our website. Remember it cost nothing to place an ad, and your payment is guaranteed by U.S. Import Services.
