iComTrader Mission Statement

Our mission is to modernize international trade by offering both buyers and sellers global acceess via an efficient and economical means to develop global sales and purchasing efforts without leaving their offices! We will accomplish this by offering a traditional international trade network along with a viable and useful live trade portal. In doing so, we hope to help our members build global bridges via iCommerce!

iComTrader Int'l has been established to help you and your company buy and sell products globally, through a traditional "International Trading House Networking " concept. Not so traditional, is our live, online trade portal.

Up until now the trading activities of iComTrader Int'l have been limited to within our company and network of global offices. With the development of our new live trading portal, we have created a platform for others to join our global network to use our global offices as virtual agents. Your trading activities can now be pursued in an open and transparent environment. By giving sellers the flexibility to choose a live auction pricing option, we have essentially given them a place where they can create a commodity like market price, which in turn will give nontraditional commodities, a commodity like market price indication in particular regions of the international marketplace.

Sellers on iComTrader.com can offer products in both a live online auction setting, and a standard classified type price offering. The live auction feature creates an exchange-like environment where buyers can enter bids, thus allowing the seller the advantage of getting the highest price possible when sold. Product can also be offered with a "Buy Now" price, without the auction feature being used. This in essence, creates a standard price quote, that allows potential buyers to make offers, without bidding. Sellers may opt to use both the live bidding option and include a "Buy Now" price in the same listing. However, if the "Buy Now" price is met, the listing will immediately end, and the contract will be awarded to the party that bid the “Buy Now" price before the auction ends.

On iComTrader, sellers may also choose the option, to make their auctions "Private" where only approved and invited bidders can participate. Of course a seller can keep their offers open for bidding to the entire iComTrader network if they so choose!

Once a product is offered for sale, regardless of which listing option is selected, it will automatically be included on the seller’s homepage. This allows the seller to share the listings and offerings with their own mailing list, simply by emailing the URL link (web address) of their iComTrader seller’s homepage to present and potential! All members of iComTrader, get a free homepage with a unique web address!

We do require all sellers to post their own home page. This process allows other members to understand the seller’s business, and also will keep the sellers accountable for their listings. We do require sellers to sign up to a membership plan in order to list product on our web site, which is a further means of verification. There are no listing fees to list, on our portal, but a membership must be in place.

iComTrader.com offers comprehensive, user-friendly tools to facilitate the paperwork of an international transaction. We are now in the process of adding "iComWallet" which will be a new option for payments to flow on a "bank to bank" basis. This will ultimately simplify the standard "Letter of Credit" method. Members will be kept posted of our progress of this exciting addition to our services in our upcoming newsletters!

Bidding can only be made by an active member of iComTrader. While this will not eliminate the less serious business person or unscrupulous buyer, it will set up a safer trading forum than other websites that simply introduce members without requiring them to be "vetted". We will also have a system in place that will govern whether we will suspend members that fail to meet a deemed acceptable feedback rating.
