SELLING ON GEHT MARKETPLACE

Selling on GEHT Marketplace offers the unique advantage of showcasing your products to thousands of potential customers globally. Listing your content on GEHT Marketplace is a straightforward process, and you won't incur any fees until your product sells.

To become a seller on GEHT Marketplace, kindly follow to the following steps:

1. Create and manage your product listings.
2. Once your product sells, utilise the GEHT Marketplace Safe Payment Process.

1. Create and Manage Your Product Listings

Ensure you're logged into GEHT Marketplace. If you haven't created an account, first complete the GEHT Marketplace registration, then log in.

Depending on the nature of your product(s) and your chosen sales approach, various options are available for managing listings. To list a product, click the "Sell" button on the Menu bar. From the Dashboard, select the "Add a New Listing" button and proceed to complete the "Add Listing" form. During this process, you'll be prompted to provide the following details:

End-user certificate (EUC)
If you have a protocol in place to verify the end-use and identify end-users for international transactions, please select "Yes". If not, choose "No". The EUC certifies that the buyer is the final recipient of the ordered goods and will use them as described in the EUC. Upon the sale of a product, the seller will obtain a copy of the buyer's ”Pro Forma Invoice”, encompassing the buyer's contact information. On the other hand, in the event of a credit card payment, the seller will receive ”a Payment & Order summary” notification, which includes the buyer's contact details.

Should an EUC be mandatory, the seller must send the EUC agreement to the buyer via email. It is then the buyer's responsibility to complete and return the EUC before shipment occurs. The individual signing the EUC should be duly authorised by the company to ensure that the declarations made are both true and accurate.

Listing title
The Listing title plays a crucial role in aiding customers in locating your products. Ensure that your listing title provides a clear description of your product(s). Do not include details related to offers, such as pricing or promotions, within the title. Refer to the guidelines below to tailor your listing titles based on the type of listing.

Craft a concise yet informative listing title, which may encompass aspects such as the product name, model, and/or its primary use. Examples include: "IPG Laser Drilling Cell, 1 kW", "Newport Integrity 1 VCS 3.4 mm Skin Table System", and "Fujikura 70S Fusion Splicer”.

Listing type
If you're selling one or multiple copies of the same product, potentially with added accessories or configuration choices, you are automatically selected the "Single Product(s)" listing option. This is set as the default and can’t be modified.

Listing category
To help potential customers discover your product more easily, it's crucial to categorise it accurately. By placing your product in the right category, you can boost both its visibility and sales.

If you can't find an appropriate category for your product, please reach out to us, and we'll create a fitting category tailored to your needs.

Selling format
Now, the fixed-price listing format is available for use.

Fixed-price listing
With a fixed-price listing, you can offer your product(s) at a predetermined price, allowing buyers to make an immediate purchase at that specified price. Fixed-price listings expire after 3 months, but you have the option to extend the listing duration for free. We'll send you an email reminder one week before your listing's expiration. If necessary, make modifications to the listing and then renew it via your “Seller's Dashboard” (Navigate to “Selling” > “Edit listing” > “Preview listing” > Submit your listing). The renewed listing will have a duration of 3 months and will auto-expire if not renewed.

Price
The minimum listing price for each product is set at either 50 € or $ 50, based on your chosen currency. Purchases must be made in the same currency in which the product is listed.

For countries like the US and Canada, any applicable sales tax is already incorporated into the domestic sales price. Please be aware that you are responsible for evaluating and declaring VAT or sales tax where it's relevant.

VAT% for domestic sales
Include the VAT (Value Added Tax) percentage for domestic sales in the appropriate jurisdictions.

Sales regions
You have the option to offer your products worldwide or to narrow down sales to specific regions by excluding certain geographical areas from your listing.

• Global: By selecting this, your listing becomes accessible to audiences everywhere, and your products become available for global purchase*.
• Select Sales Regions: If your preference is to target specific countries or regions, use this option. Pick the desired countries from our list. While the listing remains visible globally, only buyers from the countries you've specified can make a purchase*.

*It's important to note that the high-power lasers, electro-optical components, and products for defence sectors come with certain international regulations and laws. Due to these restrictions, particular regions might be prohibited from either selling or buying certain products. As a result, the services of GEHT Marketplace might not cover all global regions. If you can't locate your country on the GEHT Marketplace list or are uncertain about its export regulation compliance, it's advisable to verify whether an export authorisation is needed.

Length of handling process (days)
In this section, please indicate the length of handling process required. Length of handling process time refers to the number of days you, as the seller, require preparing and dispatch the product. This lets buyers estimate the product(s) available for shipment. Remember, this duration does not account for the time the delivery service will take to get the product to the buyer.

Estimated product weight and dimensions
Please provide the product's weight in kilograms and its dimensions in centimetres in this section. This information assists buyers in estimating the shipping costs.

Product name
Please input the product name, ensuring that you use the precise name as specified by the manufacturer.

Product description
Provide a detailed description to give potential buyers a comprehensive understanding of the product.

Minimum order quantity (MOQ)
Specify the smallest order size you are willing to accept.

Manufacturer
Choose the manufacturer from the drop-down menu provided. If the product's manufacturer isn't listed, select "Other" and manually enter the manufacturer's name.

Product model and part number
Input the product's model and, if applicable, the part number. Ensure that you use the exact model (and part number if available) as designated by the manufacturer.

Year manufactured
Provide the year in which the product was manufactured if it is not new.

Condition
When listing your product, it's essential to accurately describe its condition to ensure compliance with our Terms of Use. Please refer to the guidelines below to accurately categorize the condition of the product(s) you wish to list:

Condition description
Elaborate on the product's condition by providing details such as operational hours, maintenance history, any missing components, defects, cosmetic imperfections like scratches, and any other pertinent information.

Product images
In each Product Information section, you have the option to upload up to 4 images. To do so, either click on "Drop image(s) here or click to upload" and select your images from your file browser, or simply drag and drop your images into the designated area. The first image will be prominently displayed in search results.

Specification sheet
To upload a product specification sheet, click on "Drop spec sheet here or select file to upload (PDF format)" or drag and drop the PDF directly into the specified field.

Note: Images should be in JPEG or PNG format and must not exceed 10 MB in size.

Always ensure you respect image rights to avoid potential legal issues. It's also a good practice to keep records of licenses or permissions for images you use on GEHT Marketplace website.

Add accessory
You have the option to list accessories that are compatible with your primary product. By clicking the "Add Accessory" button, you'll be presented with blank fields to input the details of each accessory. For instance, if you're listing a "Cutting Laser 300 W" as the main product, you might have: Accessory 1: Vacuum Table Accessory 2: Exhaust System Accessory 3: Rotary Attachment... and so on.

Add configuration
A configuration represents a variation or modification of the primary product listing. By clicking the "Add Configuration" button, you'll be presented with details from the original product, which can then be adjusted to reflect the specifics of the new configuration. For example, for a product listing of a "CO2 Laser Tube" with dimensions "600 mm length and rated power of 28 W," you might have: Configuration 1: CO2 Tube - 1100 mm length, 70 W rated power, Configuration 2: CO2 Tube - 1250 mm length, 90 W rated power... and so forth.

Note: If a configuration aligns more closely with a different product category than the main product, it's advisable to create a new product listing for it instead of adding it as a configuration.

Save draft
You can save your listing as a draft to be completed and issued later. Draft is stored in your “Dashboard – Selling” > “Your Listings”.

Preview listing
Click the 'Preview Listing' button to review and see a representation of how your listing will appear based on the information you've provided.

Submit your listing
Before submitting, carefully review the information you've entered. To confirm, click “Submit Your Listing.” If any modifications are necessary, you can return to the ”Add Listing” page by clicking the “Back” button.

Your listing will undergo a review before it's displayed on the GEHT Marketplace. Expect a confirmation email from postrobot@gehtmarketplace.com within 1-2 business days after your listing has been reviewed and activated.

Once live, you can track your activities from “the Seller's Dashboard”. Navigate to it by clicking “Home Page” > “Dashboard” > “Selling” > “Your Listings”. This section will display all your active listings.

Managing your listing
To edit, duplicate, or remove your listing, navigate to your “Seller’s Dashboard”. Go to “Home Page” > “Dashboard” > “Selling” and click on the specific listing you wish to modify.

2. When the Product Sells: GEHT Marketplace Safe Payment Process

When a buyer places an online order, the GEHT Marketplace activates its Secure Payment Process. This is a comprehensive procedure involving multiple steps that verify the customer, product, delivery, and payment. It ensures that payment is secured before the product is dispatched to the buyer.

Phase 1: Purchase Order
When your product is sold and if the payment is made through wire transfer, GEHT Marketplace sends you a copy of “a Pro Forma Invoice” to your registered email address. However, if buyer made the payment using a credit card, you will receive a copy of “Payment & Order Summary” notification. Both “the Pro forma Invoice” and “the Payment & Order confirmation” provide detailed information about the order, including the buyer’s contact details, delivery address, order summary, and a unique reference number. Use these documents as a reference to organise the necessary delivery and financial logistics for that specific order within your organisation.

In your Dashboard, navigate to the “Order - Delivery Process” section (“Home page” > “Dashboard” > “Selling” > “Order - Delivery Process”). Here, you'll find a specific Reference number associated with the order. Beneath this number, the delivery status and subsequent steps in the “Order - Delivery Process” will be displayed.

Phase 2: Payment
The buyer commits to depositing the full payment into GEHT International Ltd's escrow account within 10 days of receiving “the Pro Forma Invoice”. However, if the buyer has opted for credit card payment, the payment is made and received immediately into GEHT International Ltd's escrow account. This approach ensures protection in the event of a refund.

The payment due date can be found both on “the Pro Forma Invoice” and within your “Seller's Dashboard” (“Dashboard” > “Selling” > “Order - Delivery Process” > “Pro Forma Invoice Payment”). Once the buyer has either deposited the purchase amount or made a credit card payment, the payment status will change from “Waiting” to “OK”. At the same time, Phase 3 will begin.

Phase 3: Shipment authorisation
After GEHT International Ltd has received the purchase deposit, we will send you a “Shipment Authorisation” email to your registered email address that authorises you to deliver the product to the buyer.

The delivery method is F.C.A. Origin. If the buyer has provided a carrier account number, it can be found on “the Shipment Authorisation” document. If not, you can negotiate the shipment details with the buyer using the contact information provided on the same document. Unless otherwise agreed upon, all delivery costs will be borne by the buyer, while packaging costs will be the responsibility of the seller.

You commit to delivering the product within the handling time mentioned in your listing, ensuring it is adequately packed for safe shipping.

After handing over the product to the shipping company, please promptly input the ship date and tracking number into the respective fields on your “Seller's Dashboard”.

Phase 4: Payment Notice and Invoice
Upon the buyer's receipt of the purchased product and after the product return period concludes, GEHT International Ltd will transfer the purchase amount to the seller's bank account, after deducting the Service Fee and Banking Fee. The payment will be made on the 15th of the month following the end of the return period.

In your Dashboard, completed “Order - Delivery Process” actions can be located under “History > Finished Processes” tab. The status will update from “Waiting” to “OK” once the purchase amount has been credited to the seller's account. Concurrently, GEHT Marketplace will email a Payment Notice and Invoice related to the purchase to the seller's registered email address.
