Requests: post what you want, sellers make offers

Can’t find it on Vendor Stall? Post a Request and let sellers come to you. Requests work like a “wanted” classified for items and services.

Posting a request

1. Sign in, open Requests and choose Post a request.
2. Describe what you need, pick a category and quantity, and add photos if they help.
3. Optionally enter a maximum budget and choose whether sellers can see it.
4. Give a ship-to zip code, or tick Service or digital item (or Local pickup is fine) if nothing needs shipping. Your zip is never shown to sellers.

Your request stays open for a set number of days. Any posting fee is shown on the form before you submit; if no fee is shown, posting is free.

Making an offer

Any signed-in member can send an offer: a price per item, a shipping total and an optional note. You can change or withdraw your offer while the request is open. Questions go through the request page; phone numbers, emails and links are hidden from public messages to keep everyone safe.

How the lister picks

The person who posted the request sees every offer and chooses the one they like best — it doesn’t have to be the cheapest. After the request closes they have a few days to choose; if they don’t, it closes without a sale and nobody is charged.

Payment

When an offer is chosen, Vendor Stall turns it into a normal sale and invoice. The buyer pays through the regular checkout, using the payment methods the seller accepts, and gets the same order tracking, messages and feedback as any other purchase. Find it under Members Area > Buying (buyers) or Selling > Sold (sellers).
