Step-by-step: buying

Enter the required details to create your account. A verification email is sent to your address; click the link in it (not needed if you already have an account).

Order
When you find the item, click the order button on the product page and enter the delivery address.
Payment
An invoice is emailed to your registered address; please pay to the designated account. The item ships once payment is confirmed.
Receipt and acceptance
After shipping, we email the delivery details (carrier, tracking number). Once the item arrives, click the receipt button via the link in the email, then the acceptance button if it operates without problems. Acceptance is due within 14 days (excluding holidays) in principle.
How a transaction starts
- When a buyer expresses interest, we first confirm with the seller whether they wish to proceed (accept or decline). Only with the seller’s consent do we disclose the seller’s name to the buyer. We then act as intermediary, supporting the arrangements for machine inspection and transport.
- Once both parties agree on the overall flow, the buyer transfers the purchase price to our designated account (escrow: payment is made in advance, see the diagram). After transport and test run are complete and inspection raises no issues, we transfer the amount less commission to the seller within 3 business days.
