Shiply is a UK-based limited company〔 providing an internet marketplace where transport service requesters may list items they need to move, and where providers of transport services can bid in a reverse auction format. ==Concept== The concept employed by Shiply aims to utilise transport capacity that may be wasted in inefficient transport operations and as a consequence enables transport service providers to offer marginal prices to transport service requesters.〔 Service requesters create accounts and list the items to be transported, stipulating the maximum they are prepared to pay and specifying whether they are be flexible on delivery/pickup dates or need the listed items moved subject to specified date parameters. The transport service providers bid the lowest amount they would accept to perform the transport service. A user feedback system is enabled in order to keep track of the reputation of the transport service providers and transport service requesters, this allows the transport service requesters the ability to frame their procurement decision on factors other than solely price.〔〔 Registration is free for both transport service providers and transport service requesters. Transport service providers' bids are subject to a transaction based tiered fee structure, (in the UK this is between 3.9% and 9.9% -dependent on the amount of the transaction-with a minimum fee of £6) the cost of which is borne by the transport service requesters. Transport service requesters may also be subject to an auction service fee. This fee amount is dependent on the shipment in question and is displayed before the transport service requester accepts a bid.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Shiply.com )〕 In September 2010 Shiply had 17,500 transport service provider accounts, and helped voice their concerns over trade-related issues. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shiply」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
