Reverse Bidding & Selling

Reverse bidding flips the process: buyers post what they need, and sellers respond instantly. It's faster, transparent, and cuts out long negotiations.

What is Reverse Bidding?

Reverse bidding makes scrap trading faster and easier. Instead of waiting for sellers to list materials, buyers post exactly what they need - like copper, aluminium, or e-waste. All verified sellers see these requests and can respond instantly if they have the material. Once a seller accepts, the request turns into an order.

Instead of sellers listing scrap and waiting for buyers to bid, buyers post what they need - for example, “500kg of copper scrap in Melbourne.”

Why Sellers Love It

  • Clear Demand – Know exactly what buyers want in real time.
  • Less Waiting – Respond instantly instead of waiting for bids.
  • Quick Orders – Accepted requests turn directly into confirmed deals.
  • Fair Opportunities – Every seller sees the same buyer requests.

Why Buyers Love It

  • Control the Process – Buyers set the terms by posting their needs.
  • Faster Fulfillment – Sellers can confirm quickly and ship sooner.
  • Transparent Options – Multiple sellers can respond, creating fair competition.
