How BenchCircle works
From joining to closing a deal, in four steps. It takes about five minutes to get set up.
- Join and get verified
Create a free account with your business email and add your business details. Then complete a quick online check: confirm your email, add your company or VAT number and your website or trading page, and upload a photo of your workshop or stock showing a code we give you. No phone or video calls. We review it and email you when you are verified.
- Post a request
Say what you need or what you are selling: a part, working stock, a repair job, or stock for sale. Add the model, quantity, grade, Activation Lock status, photos and your budget. IMEI and serial numbers stay private until you accept an offer.
- Get offers and compare
Verified traders reply with their price and details. You see each trader’s business type, area, rating, completed deals and verification badges. Message them to ask questions before you decide.
- Accept and deal direct
When you accept an offer, you both see each other’s contact details and arrange payment and delivery directly. Confirm the deal in the deal room when it is done, rate each other, and open a dispute if anything goes wrong.
If you are buying
Post a request for parts or stock and let suppliers come to you. Compare offers on price, grade and rating, and check IMEIs before you pay.
If you are selling
Browse open requests and send offers to traders who need what you have now. Or post your own stock with grades and photos.
If you repair
Pick up bulk repair jobs from wholesalers and traders, and list yourself in the specialist directory so other shops send you the jobs they cannot do.
