List your catering equipment stock

Choose Business / dealer when you register, verify your email and complete your seller profile. Add your business name, location and a useful description of the equipment you sell. Buyers can view your seller page and the available listings linked to it. Use the same business details in your listings and the invoices you agree directly with buyers.

Use the Excel (.xlsx) template or a UTF-8 CSV to prepare several items at once. Each row describes one item or job lot, with fields for category, condition, price, VAT, location, power and dimensions. Upload up to 500 equipment rows in a file smaller than 2 MB. Review the checks, correct any rejected rows and submit the valid file when you are happy with it. Nothing changes simply because you uploaded a file.

Give each item a unique source_listing_id, such as your stock reference, and keep it unchanged in later uploads. Reusing that reference lets the importer recognise an existing item rather than create another advert. Check the proposed new, changed and unchanged rows before applying the file. New and changed spreadsheet items go into review, while unchanged rows keep their current status.

The spreadsheet’s price.amount_minor column uses pence: enter 125000 for £1,250. Choose per-item or job-lot for the price basis and state whether VAT is added, included or not applicable. Supply the actual equipment condition and any known faults. Good model numbers, measurements and power details help buyers work out whether the item suits their kitchen before they contact you.

The import prepares the listing details. Open each item afterwards to add photos of the actual equipment, its rating plate and anything the buyer should inspect. Image URLs are not imported from the sheet. At least one genuine photograph is required before a native advert can be approved, and listings are reviewed before publication. Keep any warranty or refurbishment claims specific to the item.

Reply to buyer enquiries from your account, explain what is available and arrange inspection, payment and delivery directly. State any delivery area, access limits or installation arrangements clearly. You set the price and agree the terms of the equipment sale. Catering Equipment Market is a classifieds platform; it does not process the equipment payment or provide buyer protection.

You can continue selling through your own website and other marketplaces. Keep your listings up to date when stock sells, prices change or an item becomes unavailable. Pause or mark items sold from your account. Spreadsheet changes are checked again before they are applied, so use a current stock file and review the results each time.

You do not need to upload your whole warehouse on day one. Start with a few items with complete descriptions and clear photographs, check how the adverts look, then add more stock. Standard listings are free. If you need help with the upload format or your business account, use the marketplace contact page.
