Purchase Requisitions

What Is the ScrapTrade Wanted Board?

A marketplace works both directions. Instead of scrolling through listings for the material you need, post exactly what you're after and let sellers who have it come to you.

Faster Than Searching

Post once, and matching sellers find you — instead of you finding them one listing at a time.

Multiple Direct Quotes

Compare offers from several verified sellers side by side before choosing who to deal with.

Same Buyer Protection

Every deal made through the Wanted Board is escrow-protected, same as a listing or auction.

Why we built a request-first way to buy

Not every buyer wants the material closest to the top of a listings page — a business recycling program might need a very specific grade, in a specific volume, on a recurring schedule. Searching for that manually, listing by listing, wastes time on both sides of the deal.

The Wanted Board flips the usual model: you describe exactly what you need once, and it's the sellers who come to you with a quote. Paired with our live market pricing, you can judge every quote you receive against current rates before accepting — part of the same goal behind everything we build: making it easier for buyers and sellers anywhere in the world to find each other on fair terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Wanted Board work?

Instead of browsing listings hoping to find what you need, you post a request describing the material, grade, quantity, and location you're after. Verified sellers who have a match send you a direct quote — the matching happens the other way around.

Is it free to post a wanted listing?

Yes, posting a request on the Wanted Board is free for registered ScrapTrade buyers.

Who can respond to my request?

Any verified seller on ScrapTrade with matching material can respond with a quote. You review the offers and choose who to deal with — there's no obligation to accept any of them.

What happens after I accept a quote?

You confirm the deal, payment is protected through escrow, and pickup or delivery is arranged directly through the platform — the same secure process as any other ScrapTrade transaction.
