A construction or project contractor with surplus materials
For a contractor clearing materials off a finished job. The listings sit in the construction section of the marketplace rather than in the general catalogue.
Every seller on Surplus gets the same store page, catalogue and payouts. These are the things that are different because you registered as contractor.
Your listings go into the construction categories and only those. The product form enforces it, so it is a rule rather than a preference.
Product codes are generated for you and the VAT fields are off, because a pallet of surplus block is not a retail line with a code behind it.
Commission is fixed for construction surplus when the account is created, instead of following the ordinary category rate.
This is not a self-service switch. It decides how the whole catalogue is treated, so it is chosen at signup or moved by the review team.
Construction listings sit in the construction section of the marketplace, with the quantity, unit and site details buyers of surplus materials look for.
Quantity, unit and collection details on every lot.
These are the documents the signup form asks a contractor for, taken from the same list the form itself uses. You upload them in the last step, and nothing on your store publishes until an administrator has looked at them.
Filling the form in takes a few minutes. Approval usually takes one to two working days, and it is a person reading your documents rather than an automatic check.
Your details, your business and your location, with the documents above attached at the end.
We send a link straight after you submit. The account is not active until you have used it.
Usually one to two working days. A person reads them, and you are told either way.
Once approved, your store page is public and your listings go live as you publish them.
Pick the one that describes the business. It decides which documents you are asked for, so it is worth getting right before you start rather than after.
Running a kitchen, driving, dispatching a fleet or holding parcels are separate ways in. They are all on the join page.
Free to start, on the free plan every new seller is given. The form opens with contractor already chosen for you.
Already selling on Surplus as something else? You can apply to add contractor to your account from Business types in your dashboard. An administrator checks the paperwork for the new type before it is approved.
