BennettShops.com is a platform for buyers and sellers to be in direct contact with each other. Your contact information, email address, phone number will never be shared with any third-party without your express permission.
Buyers may elect to share their contact information with specific sellers by contacting a seller directly through the website. When a buyer contacts a seller by email, the seller will receive the buyer’s name, email address and phone number, along with a link to the item for which the buyer seeks information or wishes to purchase. If a buyer contacts a seller by text message, the seller will receive the buyer’s message, name, phone number, email address, and identification number of the item of interest.
Check out the “Tips for Buyers” to see how easy it is to search for items of interest to you.
Sellers may post an unlimited number of items with an unlimited number of pictures. As new items are posted, they show first in the list of items seen by all buyers.
By joining together with other sellers to promote your products to your existing client base, a larger marketplace will grow which will benefit all sellers. So once you have products listed, please be sure to promote your products on all your social media using the built-in link to your products.
Your profile in the website provides a URL that will take your clients directly to your list of products. For example: http://BennettShops.com/Products.aspx?SellerId=MallonAndBennett will take the client directly to the listing of items from Mallon and Bennett. This link is automatically generated from your profile. If you share an item with one or more of your clients using the built-in “Share” feature, they will receive your message along with a link that will take them directly to the item you are promoting.

Melinda has sold antiques in Tucson, La Jolla and Ocean Beach in California, and in Virginia at Ruckersville, Greenwood, Charlottesville and Gordonsville.

BennettShops.com is an online platform for buyers and sellers to work directly with each other.

Buyers, too, will benefit from this collaboration, because they will have access to more products, whether they are just browsing for ideas, or have a specific item in mind.
For a small monthly fee of less than a dollar a day, sellers may post an unlimited number of items with an unlimited number of images. No sales transactions take place through the site; buyers and sellers will contact each other directly and make their own arrangements for payment and shipping.
