B2B Markets is a private auction and RFQ platform for manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, importers, and retailers. Unlike open marketplaces, our tools let sellers and buyers invite their own trusted trading partners by email — creating a closed, high-trust transaction environment.

Yes. Registration is free for both buyers and sellers. Buyers pay zero fees — always. Sellers pay commission only on successful sales.

Any company that buys or sells B2B products is a fit — including Apparel & Textiles, Furniture, Electronics, Consumer Goods, Construction & Building Materials, and General Wholesale.

Buyers pay nothing. Registration, posting RFQs, comparing quotes, participating in auctions, and purchasing are all free. There are no buyer fees of any kind.

Sellers create an auction, set reserve price and terms, and invite specific buyers by email. Invited buyers register free to view full details and bid. Only invited, registered participants can see and bid.

Any B2B product across all industries. The platform is designed for wholesale quantities, excess inventory, and overstock — from apparel to electronics to construction materials and beyond.

Sellers pay zero upfront fees. Registration, listing products, and inviting buyers are free. Commission is charged only on successful sales.

Post your requirements — specs, quantities, timeline, quality standards. Invite trusted suppliers to respond, or discover new ones on the platform. Receive competing quotes and compare them side by side.

Yes — a core feature. Enter supplier email addresses. They receive a notification, register free, view your RFQ, and submit a quote. This brings existing relationships into a competitive format.

All quotes arrive in a standardised format in your B2B Markets dashboard. Compare pricing, delivery timelines, quality certifications, and terms side by side — no more juggling emails.

An NC-RFQ lets you source products that are not listed on the marketplace. You define requirements, invite specific suppliers to bid, and compare their quotes — like running a private tender for exactly what you need.

A Simple RFQ goes to one seller on a listed product to negotiate price and terms. An NC-RFQ goes to multiple suppliers for a product you define — creating competition that typically yields better pricing.

Yes. NC-RFQs are private by default. You invite only the suppliers you choose. No other sellers or competitors can see your requirements or the quotes you receive.

No. Buyers never pay fees or commissions on B2B Markets — including for NC-RFQs. This tool is free for all registered buyers.
