Liquidation.com, the foremost online auction marketplace for bulk lots of surplus merchandise from leading retailers, warehouse clubs and manufacturers, today revealed upgrades to its website at www.liquidation.com. Featuring an updated design and an enhanced range of new features, the new site provides potential buyers with faster, easier access to the merchandise most appropriate for their inventory needs.

Further improvements include prominent images, enhanced search filters, and a streamlined bidding process. New members will need to enter a credit card for the first auction they place a bid on, and after that initial entry, a credit card number will only be necessary after the auction’s end. Auction recommendations placed throughout the site help buyers find what they need, as well as detailed “Seller Performance Reports” on Item pages. Galleries, called “auction carousels,” provide an easy way for visitors to quickly browse the most popular auctions on the site.

Liquidity Services Inc. has 1.3 million registered buyers which include exporters, traditional retailers, online resellers, end-users and consumers. According to a research note from Wall Street firm Lazard Capital Markets issued on February 5, registered buyers increased 20% in the fourth quarter year-over-year, while the average number of bidders per auction (a measure of liquidity) “remained healthy at 4.3.”
