Selling Direct Materials: Posting vs. Searching

---

As a user of PartBridge.com, you can advertise the material you have to sell. A seller that currently has posted files is called an Active Participant. Active Participants post materials for sale and wait for PartBridge.com to find matches to buyers' postings and searches. Active Participants are not permitted to search for Sell Opportunities.

Conversely, a seller that currently has no posted files is called a Passive Participant. Passive Participants use the search functions of PartBridge.com to search buyers' postings for Sell Opportunities. An Active Participant returns to passive status whenever that participant has no current postings.

For information on how to create and upload files, see Posting Direct Materials Data .

For information on searching for Sell Opportunities, see Searching for Sell Opportunities (Without Posting).
