Why sell on Container Trader
One marketplace where buyers, dealers, suppliers and carriers across the U.S. and Canada connect.
Reach more buyers
Businesses, contractors, farmers, homeowners, schools and agencies search for containers every day. Container Trader lets them search by location, type, condition and seller.
List everything
Start with a few containers or move up to unlimited listings on a Dealer plan. Add inventory anytime, update prices, upload photos, list multiple depots and promote specialty containers.
Build your brand
Your company profile shows your service areas, container types, rentals, modifications, delivery and contact details before buyers call.
Keep your sales
Buyers contact you with the details you choose to share. You set your prices, build the relationship and make the sale.

For wholesale distributors
Become a wholesale supplier
Distributors, depots and leasing companies can sell in volume to verified container dealers through our private wholesale channel.
- List bulk stock privately. It never appears on the public marketplace.
- Only active Dealer Pro members can see it and send purchase requests.
- Your company name and contact details stay hidden. Dealers see "Supplier".
- The dealer pays us by wire or ACH, and we pay you the same day, before you send the release.
Apply in a few minutes
Tell us about your depots and stock. We review every application and agree terms with you before anything is listed.

Seller plan questions
What does the one-time setup fee cover?
It covers initial account setup, seller review, plan configuration and the onboarding work needed for your plan. Some advanced tools need more information or approval before they are turned on.
When do I pay?
Not when you apply. After we approve your business, we email you a secure Stripe payment link. Your first payment is the setup fee plus your first month: $119 for Verified Seller, $299 for Dealer Growth or $349 for Dealer Pro. After that you pay the monthly price until you cancel.
Is Verified Seller status automatic?
No. Verified Seller status is granted after Container Trader reviews and approves the business information required for verification.
Can every listing use Buy It Now?
No. Buy It Now is available to Dealer Pro sellers for approved inventory after the listing, payment, availability and fulfillment steps are set up.
How do dealer delivery estimates work?
Dealer Pro sellers can offer instant delivery estimates once their depot locations, rate card, service area and delivery methods are set up and approved. An estimate is not a delivery reservation, and some routes need review before delivery is confirmed.
What do early and second-tier lead access mean?
Lead access follows our lead-distribution policy and buyer consent. It applies only to eligible online leads and does not guarantee lead volume, exclusivity or sales.
Can buyers purchase on my own website?
Dealer Growth and Dealer Pro sellers can add an approved link to their own inventory or purchasing page. You control that site and any sale made there. Container Trader does not process or guarantee purchases made on an outside website.
