Search and buy hard-to-find spare parts, accessories and devices from other repair shops in the Fixh IT network, with filters by category, price, condition and seller rating.
Anyone running a smartphone and PC repair shop knows the problem well: a customer brings in a model from two or three generations back, the original part is no longer in production and regular suppliers have dropped it from their catalog. The Fixh IT Marketplace exists to solve exactly this kind of situation: it's the space within the network where repair shops list spare parts, accessories and devices they hold in stock, whether new, refurbished or used, letting other shops quickly find what they need without leaving their system and without turning to unverified outside suppliers.
Why it matters for a repair shop
A repair shop's parts inventory is inherently imperfect: you buy batches of components for popular models but end up with surplus parts for devices you rarely repair, or find yourself missing the right piece for a rare or imported model. The Marketplace connects hundreds of shops in the Fixh IT network, turning one shop's surplus stock into another's resource: whoever needs a hard-to-find part can get it from a peer instead of stalling the repair or turning the customer away, while the seller recovers capital tied up in parts that would otherwise sit on the shelf. This is built specifically for the smartphone and PC repair parts supply chain, not a generic marketplace: what changes hands here is components, screens, batteries, connectors, accessories and devices between industry professionals.
How it works
Every Marketplace listing shows a title, description, photos, price with currency, available quantity, category and item condition: new, like new, good, fair or poor, so you can judge at a glance whether the part suits a warranty repair or a cheaper job. Each listing card also shows the seller's country and their average rating, calculated from reviews left by previous buyers, a useful signal when choosing between multiple sellers of the same part.
You can narrow results using filters for category, minimum and maximum price, and condition, or use text search across the title and description to quickly find a specific model or component, such as a display for a particular smartphone or a motherboard for a discontinued laptop. Opening a single listing shows every photo the seller uploaded, the available shipping options (in-store pickup, domestic, EU or international shipping, with their costs and any free-shipping threshold) and the seller's number of reviews, plus their sales history.
The Marketplace is built for repair shops that want to quickly source a missing part without opening a new order with an outside supplier: you can compare multiple similar listings from different companies in the Fixh network, check price, condition and seller reliability, and pick the best deal to complete the repair you have in progress. If you're unsure about compatibility or the part's actual condition, you can message the seller directly through the built-in messaging before buying.
Quick guide
- Open the Marketplace section from the main Fixh IT menu.
- Use the search bar or the category, min/max price and condition filters to narrow down the listings.
- Open a listing to see its details: description, photos, price, available quantity, condition and seller rating.
- Check the shipping or pickup options the seller offers and their costs.
- If you're unsure about the part's compatibility, message the seller through the Marketplace messaging before buying.
- If you're interested, proceed with the purchase choosing a payment method from those available.
- Track the order created in the Marketplace Orders section through to delivery.
Real use cases
Display for a discontinued smartphone. A customer brings in a smartphone model from a few years back with a cracked screen: the shop's usual supplier no longer carries that display. Searching the Marketplace by category and model, the technician finds a shop in the network with a compatible display in stock, checks its condition and price, messages the seller to confirm exact compatibility and completes the purchase, managing to deliver the repair instead of turning the customer away.
Motherboard for a rare laptop. A PC repair shop is working on a laptop from a niche brand with a damaged motherboard, impossible to source through standard supply channels. Filtering the Marketplace by "spare parts" category and searching the specific model, it finds a company in the network that had stripped a similar device for parts and is selling exactly that motherboard, unblocking an otherwise stuck case.
Surplus accessories and batteries. A shop bought a batch of compatible batteries for a high-demand model but ordered more than it needed. It lists them on the Marketplace at a competitive price: other shops in the network, instead of ordering small quantities from a supplier with long lead times, buy them immediately and receive them within days.
Tips and best practices
Before buying a part critical to an urgent repair, always check the seller's rating and read reviews left by other repair shops: a seller with more completed sales and positive reviews is generally more reliable. If you're unsure about the exact compatibility of a component with the model you're repairing, message the seller before buying rather than after: the built-in messaging exists precisely to clarify these details. Always compare multiple similar listings, since price and condition can vary noticeably between different sellers in the network. Check the shipping options and estimated timing, especially if the part is needed to complete a repair already promised to the customer by a specific date.
Common mistakes to avoid
Don't buy a part based only on the listing title without checking the photos and full description: details like the hardware revision or regional variant of the component can make a difference. Don't ignore the stated condition of the item: a "poor" item is cheaper but needs extra rework, while a "like new" one costs more but is ready to use. Don't forget to check the seller's country and international shipping costs before buying, to avoid surprises on delivery time or customs costs. Finally, if you have serious doubts about compatibility, don't buy "blind": chatting with the seller is free and can save you from a wrong purchase.
