Before you buy
- Make sure the company buyer profile is fully verified before you try to bid or purchase.
- Check the seller information, the description, and any disclosures before you commit.
- Check class, carcass details, weight information, and the seller disclosures carefully.
- If the company buys for public meat distribution, make sure the correct registration documents are already in place.
Buying flow
- Sign in with an approved company buyer profile and browse to the slaughtered stock you want.
- Use the marketplace tree or the public browse tree to find the exact category, breed, class, or product path.
- Open the listing and review the images, description, seller details, price information, and any category-specific disclosures.
- Place bids from the buyer side of the platform only. The public browse page is for viewing, not bidding.
- Watch your notifications and email for the outcome, invoice, and any next action required from you.
After the transaction
- Buyer and seller communication should stay on the platform so that records, transport discussions, and admin oversight remain in one place.
- Keep all payment and delivery discussions on-platform so that the transaction record stays complete.
- VAT can apply where the seller is VAT registered and the item attracts VAT.
- Use the invoice and payment portal after the lot closes successfully.
- Auction bids are binding and the highest valid bid at closing becomes the winning bid when the reserve, if any, has been met.
- The default live auction window runs for 15 minutes and bids placed in the last 5 minutes extend the timer by 10 minutes.
