FAQ

General

Does AgriculturalTrader.co.uk stock items for sale?

No. This site is a platform for traders and private sellers to advertise their goods. You will need to contact the advertiser directly through the contact forms on the site.

I have enquired about an advert but had no reply?

Some advertisers, particularly private sellers will only check their email occasionally. Please remember that they may be on holiday or at work and will get back to you when they can. If you haven’t received a reply within a reasonable time please contact us and we will try and help. My detailed search has brought up no results. New adverts are being added to the site all the time, save your search and you can request an email alert if a new advert is added that matches your criteria.
