BULQ on eBay is a trusted wholesale liquidation source that works with top retailers to put excess or returned inventory in the hands of resellers. The platform makes it faster and more seamless for resellers to source and list inventory on their own eBay stores. In turn, retailers are able to find homes for products that are taking up space in their warehouses and would otherwise end up in a landfill. Stevie Award judges were particularly impressed by BULQ on eBay’s innovative features, efficient processes and commitment to sustainable business solutions. The partnership has helped resellers save up to 50% of their listing time using eBay’s first-of-its-kind auto relisting solution and has worked with big name retailers like Target to rehome inventory.
“We are thrilled to be recognized as a winner in the 18th Annual International Business Awards,” said Tobin Moore, CEO and co-founder, Optoro. “We created BULQ to solve an inventory problem for retailers and the environment by connecting their returned and excess goods to the many micro entrepreneurs looking to make a better living as resellers. Through this partnership with eBay, we have been able to streamline this process through automation and give access to a great inventory source for a large buyer base of resellers in need of extra income, while also keeping more items out landfills and we’re honored to have been recognized by the International Business Awards for those efforts.”
