Accounts & Registration
Need to know more about reseller certificates? Having trouble with your user account?
Can I apply if I’m located outside of the Canada?
Yes!
If you are applying as an international user we require some form of official documentation confirming your business information, such as a business license, VAT number (EU only), or equivalent.
International buyers generally are responsible for arranging their own shipping, and it is the buyer's responsibility to confirm these details.
Some auctions on the SupplyDemy marketplace will be labeled as being Canada only. International buyers, even if they have a Canada address, should not bid on these auctions. Please check auction for details.
An additional fee may be charged your bank on any international wire payment. Please check with your bank to confirm details. SupplyDemy requires payment-in-full before an order will be moved to a "paid" status.
If you intend to ship to the U.S. prior to your country, we will require a shipping document on the company's letterhead confirming you are a current customer and that you are authorized to use that particular address. A sample shipping document has been attached to this article for your reference.
If you are need a US address but do not currently have one, we recommend you look into the services provided by MyUs.
Once you procure the necessary documents, please submit them to customer service.
Note: No buyers will be approved from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Yemen, or Syria on any sites due to USA federal regulations.
What is a resale certificate?
A resale certificate is a form you, as a buyer, submit to a seller guaranteeing you intend to resell the product you purchase from them. This will exempt you from sales tax at the time of purchase as it will be collected at the time of resell with a sales tax number (or equivalent) issued to you by your state.
Please visit this link to see which form SupplyDemy generally accepts for your state.
If your business is registered in Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, or Oregon, you are not required to submit a resale certificate. However, if we are not able to confirm your business by searching you state's business entity web site, we will request that you supply a business license or equivalent in order to be approved on Supplydemy.com.

Can I submit my EIN (Employer Identification Number) for approval?
SupplyDemy requires all applicants to have a registered business that can provide valid resale documentation. We do not accept non-profit tax exempt numbers, social security numbers, or EINs in place of a Sales and Use Tax Number (or your state's equivalent).
SupplyDemy facilitates online business to business liquidation with the intent that the product be resold for profit. Sales tax is not charged as the auction winner will collect that tax at the time of resale.
Can I apply if I don’t have a resale certificate or if I am a non-profit?
Since SupplyDemy facilitates business to business liquidation, with the intent that the product be resold for profit, we are unable to accept non-profit organizations at this time.
If you have a retail business associated with your non-profit, please apply with that business's information. We would need a valid resale document in order to proceed with approving your account.
Additionally, we are also only able to accept individuals who have a registered business capable of submitting valid resale documentation. For information on how to register a business or about your state's resale requirements, contact your local department of revenue or taxation for assistance.
Can I buy for import / export? Can I bid on auctions for export?
Unless otherwise stated in the auction description, any approved buyer may bid on any listing regardless of the location.
These are all "bidder beware" purchases and the buyer will be responsible for all export / import paperwork and fees.
Additional information can be found at the official website for the US Customs and Border Protection.
When I try to log in, I see “Your application is still pending.” What do I do?
If you receive this notification, we have either not yet reviewed your application (please allow one full business day) or you have not submitted a proper resale certificate.
If it has been more than 1 business day since you applied, we are probably still waiting on the proper documentation from you. You can send your resale certificate to customercare@SupplyDemy.com as a pdf, jpg, or png file.
