The seller is displayed as a „certified dealer“. What does that mean?

The Machineseeker Trust Seal gives you the opportunity to see at a glance whether you are dealing with a trusted seller. We check the trade licence or commercial register excerpt of the dealers as well as the postal address, verify the bank details and the availability by telephone before we finally draw up a credit report which does not contain any negative features. In addition, we must not have any complaints about the Dealer.

In this way you reach an enormous number of sellers and can count on a high response rate. Therefore, please remember to click on your preferred way to reply. Finally, click on "Send inquiry".
