How to you think about buy.com?

[poorgirl]

Hello, I am thinking to sell my items in buy.com marketplace. Does anyone have any experiences selling there? How do you think that site? Thanks for any input

They ask for an SSN up front in the application, as well as links to your other selling platforms (this was before the IRS regulations, too). I applied and they never got back to me. Bunch of ass-oles.

Seems to be frowned upon by many sellers.

What about traffic?

Traffic is AWESOME ive heard from a friend that got approved as buy.com sells RETAIL prices unlike amazon.

But they suck a$$ in terms of approving sellers. They only want "legit" businesses to apply. I applied and got denied keep in my I showed them my superb amazon account and ebay account.

Let me update my news here, I applied to sell in buy.com on last Saturday and 1 day later which was Sunday they emailed me back saying my application has been approved, now I need to give them something like my W9 tax form, my store policies, and I can starting selling. I can't believe I have been approved by them because according to you guys said they usually denied the applications. Thanks.

That's good to know the buy.com actually have decent amount of traffic. I did the same things, I showed my eBay and amazon when I applied.

Just re-applied to buy.com lets see how it goes this time.. UGH

what happened?

[jeffweico]

My guess is is WHAT is being sold. I have a friend on Buy.com, and he felt he was approved because he had an LLC that was more than 3 years old and also a retail store.

I got approved.. My company went legit in december of last year but killer amazon sales/stats probably pushed me over the edge..

Site is JUNK to sell on in my opinion. It needs ALOT of work. They block 85% of the listings that other ppl make and they have 2-10 listings for the same items but you arent allowed to sell that item although it 100% matches what you want to sell.

Search results needs a lot of work as well.. Everything is so out of place it seems.. Or maybe I just need to get used to it..
