Three ways to contact you

On every machine page and on your company page buyers find Send message, Call and WhatsApp. Calls and WhatsApp use the numbers of your profile.

The message form

The form asks the buyer for first and last name, company, city, country, phone, email and who they are, together with the message.

What you receive

The message arrives at the email address of your account. The subject names the buyer and the machine, for example “MachineLinker | John Smith is interested in Heidelberg SM 74-4 (your reference A-1234)”. Reply to the email and your answer goes straight to the buyer.

Answer well

Reply quickly: buyers often contact several sellers. Confirm that the machine is available, answer the questions and propose a video call or a visit. If the machine is sold, tell the buyer and mark it as sold.

Tip: Fill in “Your reference” on your machines: your code appears in the subject of every message.
