What Happens After a Successful Sale/Purchase

Once your Sale/Purchase was successfully, several steps will follow to ensure a smooth transaction between the buyer and the seller. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what to expect:

1. Notification of Listing Results


Both the buyer and the seller will receive an email notification. This email will include important details such as:
The listing ID number.
The number of units.
The listing name or title.
Sale/Purchase price. | Additionally, the message will contain a link that directs you to the listing page. On this page, you will find the contact details of the other party and instructions to complete the transaction smoothly.

2. Payment


The buyer is responsible for making the payment within the seller’s specified payment period (we recommend 3 days). The payment method is determined by the seller and may include options such as:
Bank transfer (prepayment).
Other methods as agreed upon by the seller. Payment Deadline: The buyer must complete the payment within the timeframe set by the seller. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of the sale or potential penalties, such as suspension from the platform.
Seller’s note: Sellers should clearly communicate both the payment method and deadline prior to the sale conclusion to avoid any confusion.

3. Seller Confirmation


After the payment is received and confirmed, the seller must notify the buyer and proceed with preparing the items for shipment or pick up. Here are the next steps:
The seller will notify the buyer that payment has been received and provide details about the upcoming shipment or pick up.
The seller will prepare the batch according to the agreed-upon terms.
If additional information is needed (such as the shipping address or any special requirements), the seller will contact the buyer.
Important for Sellers: Make sure to use a secure shipping method that provides tracking and if needed, insurance. This ensures that both parties are protected in case of any issues during delivery.

4. Shipping and Delivery


Once the items are shipped, the seller must update the buyer with the relevant shipping details, including the tracking number if applicable. The buyer can then monitor the shipment status. The following steps apply:
The seller updates the buyer with the shipping or tracking information.
The buyer can track the delivery using the details provided.
Estimated Delivery Time: The delivery time will depend on the shipping method selected. If there are any delays, both parties should maintain open communication to resolve any issues.

For Buyers: Make sure to monitor the tracking information and be available to receive the package or make arrangements if needed.

6. Dispute Resolution (if needed)

If that doesn’t work, they can escalate the matter to the platform via chat or by sending an email to compliance@itadauctions.com


7. Seller Platform Fee


After a successful sale, the seller is required to pay a platform fee to the ITAD Auctions OÜ. This fee applies only when the sale concludes successfully.
Platform Fee: The fee amount is a 3% commission on the final sales price, up to a maximum of €290.
Invoice Issuance: The ITAD Auctions OÜ will issue an invoice to the seller for the platform fee.
Payment Deadline: The seller must pay the invoice within 7 days of receiving it.

Additional Tips


Maintain communication: Good communication is key to ensuring the transaction proceeds smoothly. Prompt responses to messages from the other party can help avoid misunderstandings.
Review the platform’s Terms & Conditions: Make sure both the buyer and the seller are familiar with the ITAD Auctions Terms & Conditions, particularly concerning payment deadlines, shipping requirements, and dispute resolution procedures.
