Sell on A1TechDeals with invtri — orders, returns and refunds in one place.

Who can sell on A1TechDeals

A1 calls itself “a UK electronics marketplace that sells for you”: it brings the buyers, pays for marketing and handles customer service². A1 Tech Deals is the trading name of Omnibytes Ltd, company number 12070738, whose registered office is in Manchester⁶⁷.

“You must be a UK VAT-registered business,” A1 tells sellers². You enter your VAT details when you apply, and A1 runs internal company checks². Everything you list must be “brand new and sealed in their original retail packaging”².

1. 1

   Apply and verify

   Use the Apply to sell form on A1’s Sell With Us page. The onboarding team replies within 24 to 48 hours, and verification is “usually same-day”².

2. 2

   Bring your catalogue

   A1 migrates it from another marketplace or your own site, or lists products from photos you send².

3. 3

   Go live

   A1 says “Most sellers see their first order the same day”².

Seller terms are on your seller dashboard rather than the public site².

If you are based outside the UK:

• A1 accepts UK VAT-registered businesses only².
• It says every supplier on its network “is based in the UK and held to our standards”⁶.
• Orders go only to mainland Great Britain: not to Northern Ireland, and not abroad⁴.

Commission, Boost and daily payouts

A1’s seller page lists “£0 to join” and “A single flat commission on each sale”, with no subscription, listing fees, return-admin fees or category surcharges². The rate is not published: “Our onboarding team will confirm your rate when you apply”².

Boost is optional: “A boost is a percentage of the sale price that you switch on per listing, at a rate you choose”². It is charged only when the order ships, alongside the commission; A1’s example is 10% of a £179.00 sale, or £17.90². A refund returns both the commission and the boost².

Payouts are daily, with no performance tiers: “Once tracking shows the item has been delivered, funds are released in your next daily payout”².

What A1 promises buyers

A1’s buyer-facing terms are in the name of Omnibytes LTD, trading as A1 Tech Deals, and do not mention third-party sellers⁸. Your own obligations are in the seller terms on your dashboard². The public policies promise buyers:

• every order handled within one business day, and every order tracked⁴
• free standard delivery on every UK order, with no minimum spend, mostly by Royal Mail or DPD⁴
• a 30-day return window from receipt on every item⁹
• a 12-month warranty on all products¹⁰

A1’s own team handles customer contact and tech support first².

How offers compete

Since September 2024, UK suppliers have made offers on the same products, and the cheapest offer gets to sell¹. The lowest offer sets the buyer’s price, and “the winning offer can change day to day”³.

A1 says it “spans all consumer electronics”, such as phones, tablets, gaming consoles, cameras, drones and TVs, with “No hard brand or product gating: if it’s genuine new stock, you can list it”². Buyers browse eight categories: Gaming, Audio, Cameras & Drones, Computing, Hair & Beauty, Hair Care, Home Appliances, and Mobile & Wearables¹.

Sellers list only new, sealed stock, although A1 itself also sells Open Box items and Refurbished grades A, B and C²¹¹.

Fulfilment, cancellations and returns

“Most sellers handle shipping themselves from their own warehouse”; you can also “send stock to our warehouse and we pick, pack and ship on your behalf”². A1 ships only within mainland Great Britain, with no deliveries to Northern Ireland and no international shipping⁴.

Buyers can cancel only before dispatch, and refunds reach their original payment method in 5 to 7 business days¹². Through the Seller API you can see return and cancellation requests, and accept or reject them before shipping⁵.

A Brand New item must come back unused with its seals intact, but items with manufacturing defects can be returned even if opened⁹. Refunds are processed within 10 business days of inspection⁹. A1 tells sellers: “You’re responsible for products being returned as per the seller terms, available on your dashboard”².

How A1TechDeals API keys work

A1 publishes a Developers page for its Seller API, which is “for sellers, agencies and software providers”⁵. The API covers listings and stock, orders and shipments with tracking, returns and cancellations, payouts, and signed webhooks⁵.

Developers request sandbox access with a form, and A1 replies by email within 2 working days⁵. “Your sandbox comes with test keys and three test orders to ship”⁵. Software then goes live “with a key your seller creates”, using the same endpoints and payloads⁵.

So a live connection uses a key from your own seller account⁵. If you cannot find where to create it, contact A1 at [email protected], the address on its Developers page⁵. Then follow How to connect A1TechDeals.
