Liquidate Health & Beauty Overstock Through Forthclear

Key Takeaways: Forthclear lets sellers list Health & Beauty excess inventory in bulk for registered B2B buyer accounts to review and bid on. Listing is free; the seller fee is 5% of the item subtotal only when a deal closes.

Who this page is for

This workflow fits a merchant with accurately described multi-unit surplus, overstock, or dead stock that can be offered to commercial buyers rather than sold one unit at a time.

How a Forthclear listing works

The seller creates one bulk listing, receives bids, chooses whether to accept an offer, and ships only after a marketplace order is agreed.

1. Describe the lot's quantity, location, condition, and any material shelf-life limitations.
2. Publish the listing for registered buyer accounts to review.
3. Compare submitted bids without assuming that a bid or sale is guaranteed.
4. Accept an offer only when price, shipping, and buyer terms work for the seller.
5. Complete the Stripe-based marketplace payment and ship the agreed lot.
6. Track the inspection window and payout status.

Account and transaction boundaries

Buyer account registration is not a credential or quality check. A resale certificate is reviewed only when a buyer wants to make a tax-exempt purchase on a listing that requires one. Sellers connect Stripe and complete Stripe's identity process before receiving payouts.

Funds auto-release 14 days after shipment when the buyer never acts. When the buyer marks the order received, a separate three-day inspection window governs release.

Fees and expectations

There is no listing fee, payout fee, or subscription. The seller pays 5% of the item subtotal when a deal closes; Forthclear absorbs Stripe's payment-processing charge. Buyers pay no platform fee.

Forthclear does not promise a buyer count, sale price, recovery rate, or time to sell. Results depend on the lot, condition, price, shipping, and buyer demand.

Questions Health & Beauty sellers ask

Are all buyer accounts credential-checked?

No. Account registration alone is not a credential check. Resale-certificate review is conditional on a tax-exempt purchase and the listing's requirements.

Can I import directly from Shopify?

No live Shopify OAuth import is available in the merchant interface. CSV and Excel bulk import are shipped.

What does Forthclear charge?

Listing is free. A 5% seller fee applies to the item subtotal only when a deal closes.
