How is a purchasers identity hidden from suppliers?
When a purchaser submits a purchase request through the Web site, that request is forwarded to registered suppliers. The purchaser’s identity and contact information are not shared with those suppliers unless the purchaser chose to include such information as part of the request. Suppliers respond through the Web site. The purchaser can view those responses and follow-up with suppliers through the Web site as well, without having to disclose his or her name, organization, email address, or other contact information.
