fba.market vs Liquidation.com

Liquidation.com is US-focused with per-lot auctions. We're EU-native with a bidding sheet: no auctions, better manifests.

Liquidation.com (Liquidity Services) is one of the largest US liquidation platforms, handling surplus from major retailers. However, their focus is firmly on the US market, with an outdated user experience and per-lot auction model. Our platform is purpose-built for European B2B buyers with a modern approach: bidding sheets, waterfall allocation, and full warehouse services.

How It Works: Side by Side

Liquidation.com

Liquidation.com operates per-lot auctions. Buyers browse available lots, view basic manifests, and place competitive bids. Lots ship from various US locations. International buyers face significant shipping costs and customs complexity. The platform's UX hasn't been significantly updated in years.

fba.market

We use a bidding sheet where you set bid percentages across 27 categories and 6 price ranges. Waterfall allocation distributes products to the highest bidders first. EU warehouse with managed cross-border shipping. Detailed manifests with optional enriched product data.

Common Liquidation.com Pain Points

→

US-centric logistics

Shipping from US warehouses to Europe adds weeks and significant cost. Customs, duties, and VAT on import make unit economics challenging for EU buyers.

→

Poor manifest accuracy

Liquidation.com manifests are often approximate. Buyers report receiving items that don't match the listed contents, with no recourse.

→

Dated user experience

The platform hasn't been modernized in years. Searching, filtering, and bid management are cumbersome compared to modern B2B platforms.

→

No services, just lots

Products arrive as raw, unsorted lots. No condition inspection, no labeling, no sorting. All downstream handling is on the buyer.
