What is a uBid Certified Merchant?
uBid Certified Merchants are uBid approved third-party merchants who sell products on the site. To ensure uBid buyers the ability to shop in a private and secure environment, every uBid Certified Merchant must go through a thorough application process including verification of bank and trade references before they are approved to list auctions on uBid. uBid Certified Merchants are established businesses (both small and large) whose performances are monitored to ensure that buyers receive the appropriate uBid service levels. These Certified Merchants list their items directly and assume responsibility for all aspects of their auction listings including product descriptions, identification of quantities, establishment of starting and maximum bid prices, and shipping. Although uBid does not own, warehouse, ship or otherwise manage any inventory or goods offered by uBid Certified Merchants, those partners who do not meet uBid’s service standards can and will be removed from listing auction
