| Submitting Assets |
| |
- How do I submit items for sale?
|
You must be registered before you can submit items for sale on Liquidation.com.
You can post items by clicking on the 'Submit Assets' button located on the side navigation bar. You will be prompted to provide detailed information about the assets you would like to sell. This information will assist us in evaluating how best to market and sell your assets. After you have submitted this information, a Sales Executive will contact you to develop an Asset Sales Plan. You will be required to complete and return a signed Asset Sales Agreement (ASA) document to fax number (253) 484-2657. Once we have a signed ASA document, you will not need to fill out another one for future transactions. The only document which we will need for subsequent auctions is a Schedule 1 document which is a form describing the quantity and description of your goods.
|
- What is the minimum quantity or amount for a sale?
|
Although there is no minimum quantity for assets, we target a liquidation value of $2,000 per lot. The Asset Sales Plan created by your Sales Executive will help to validate the best lot sizes to meet this objective and successfully sell your assets through Liquidation.com.
|
- Is there a minimum price or reserve I can set on my auctions?
|
We operate on a "marketplace pricing" model. Every auction starts at a minimum of $100, with no reserve, and is sold to the highest bidder. This leads to more competitive bidding by our hundreds of thousands of registered buyers. Virtually 99% of what is posted on Liquidation.com is sold quickly and efficiently using this "no reserve" system.
|
- What information do you require to post my auction?
- Asset description and details regarding quantity, weight, location and condition of goods
- Packaging And Shipping Information.
|
- What is an Asset Sales Plan?
|
An Asset Sales Plan is a plan that is developed by our Sales and Marketing team. This plan will include initial price for items, lot size, auction duration, and marketing tools to promote the auction. Once you submit your Item information, you will be contacted by your Sales Executive to review the plan.
|
- What is an Asset Sales Agreement (ASA)?
|
An Asset Sales Agreement is a document outlining our responsibilities and obligations as well as that of the seller.
|
- What services does Liquidation.com provide to sellers?
|
We monitor all aspects of the auction and transaction process from beginning to end, including due diligence, asset promotion, payment collection, warehousing, inventory verification and labeling, shipping and logistics.
|
- Do you offer warehousing services?
|
Yes. We operate our own warehouse facilities, and through partnerships, we provide warehousing and inventory inspection services using logistics centers located throughout the United States. For more information, contact us at shipping@liquidation.com .

| |
| Payment |
| |
- How and when will I get paid?
|
We will remit payment to you, net of any commission and fees due, after we have received and processed the buyer's payment.
|
- How do I check the status of the buyer's payment?
|
You can monitor the status of all your transactions online by logging into My Account.
|
- How secure is your payment system?
|
All payment information will be stored and processed using our secure server. All the data is transferred in an encrypted format, and it can only be decrypted by the processing bank or by us.
|
- What happens if the winning bidder doesn't pay?
|
If the winning bidder fails to pay, we will contact the second highest bidder to determine whether or not he/she is still interested in purchasing your merchandise. If the second highest bidder is not interested in purchasing the merchandise, we will contact you to discuss other options, including re-listing your merchandise.
|
- What measures do you take to ensure that buyers pay for auctions?
|
We limit the number of outstanding transactions for new buyers to two at one time. Once a new buyer wins two auctions, they cannot place new bids until payment is made. This restriction continues until a buyer has completed their first transaction.
|
|
|
|
| |
| Shipping |
| |
- Who is responsible for shipping and shipping costs?
|
We arrange and manage shipping using our shipping partners. The buyer is responsible for all shipping costs including duties and taxes for international shipments. All auctions are insured to 100% of the value of the auction.
|
- Who is responsible for booking the shipment of my merchandise?
|
Once the buyer's payment has been collected, we will book the shipment of your merchandise and notify you as to when to prepare the goods for pick-up. Pick-up usually occurs 2 business days after the buyer's payment has been collected.
|
- What happens if a dispute is filed against my merchandise?
|
A buyer can file a dispute if he/she believes that the merchandise received does not conform to the information provided by the seller at the time of the bid. To start the dispute process, the buyer must complete a dispute form, we will investigate the matter, and we will decide upon a resolution that must be followed by both the buyer and the seller. To download a PDF version of our dispute form, please click here. Disputes must be submitted within 2 business days of receipt of the merchandise, and we will complete dispute resolution within 15 days of receipt. All parties must abide by the dispute resolution provided by Liquidation.com.
