Rapaport Trade's Buy Requests

Written by Philippa Corrick

Rapaport Trade's Buy Requests remove the heavy legwork when sourcing diamonds, making it easier to find diamonds and accelerate sales.

Here's how it works:

  1. Buyers post a buy request for the diamond they are looking for and instantly receive a list of matching diamonds available on Rapaport Trade.
    Newly listed diamonds automatically get added to the buy request and the buyer can connect diamonds to the buy request directly from the diamond search results page.

  2. Sellers are notified whenever their Rapaport Trade-listed inventory matches a buy request and can respond personally to the buy request.
    The notification includes a link to the buy request and the matching inventory, which the seller can filter and select before responding to the buyer.

  3. Buyers can review each buy request suggestion, reject diamonds, or click the Send Seller a Message button to proceed with purchasing.
