Detailed Review
WholesaleUp is a directory rather than a marketplace. It lists more than 27,000 wholesale, liquidation and dropship suppliers with minimum order quantities and price tiers, free to browse with a free account, and the vendor says it takes no commission on orders. Orders happen outside the site, so you contact each supplier and agree terms yourself.
The operator named by the vendor is Tradegenius SL in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and the terms are governed by Spanish law with courts in Tenerife. Supplier coverage spans the EU, UK and North America, so it is international rather than Europe-only, prices are shown in US dollars by default, and the privacy policy lists Vercel and Neon, both US providers, for hosting and database.
Compared with Ankorstore or Orderchamp, which process orders and payments, WholesaleUp offers breadth and no payment terms or returns handling. That is why it sits last here. Use it to build a supplier shortlist, verify each supplier, and look at Mercateo or Merkandi if you want a platform that handles the transaction.
