What is the returns marketplace?
The returns marketplace is a list in the app where Import2Shop merchants offer goods to each other. It is meant for items you no longer want to sell the regular way, or cannot.
Returned goods
Items that came back in perfect order but should not go into the shop as new.
B-stock
Goods with opened packaging or small flaws. The condition note says what the buyer gets.
Overstock and remainders
You can also list goods that did not come from a return.
What the marketplace looks like
“All items” shows the listings of all merchants, “My items” shows your own. The picture shows sample items.
Find items by name, SKU or EAN and filter by category.
SKU and condition note sit right below the name.
Plus the available quantity.
Your own listings show “Your article” instead.
