What does it cost to join as a supplier?
Creating an account, browsing the RFQ platform, saving RFQs, and listing products is free. Credits are spent only when you send a quote to a buyer.
How many credits does a reply cost?
Standard RFQs cost 8 credits. High-value orders cost 12, and premium RFQs from verified buyers with large or recurring orders cost 16โ20. The cost is shown on each RFQ before you commit.
When do I see the buyer's identity?
Before you quote, buyers appear as verified buyers on the platform. After you send a quote, you see their company profile. Contact name, phone, and email unlock when the buyer shortlists your quote.
Can sourcing agents quote on behalf of factories?
Yes. Agents register on MantaBid, add factories to their dashboard, and send quotes on their behalf. Suppliers can maintain their own accounts and switch agents when needed.
How do I find international buyers?
Join free, set your product categories, and browse live buyer RFQs filtered by category, order value, and buyer country. Save inquiries to your dashboard and quote when you are ready.
