three easy steps to becoming a buyer

STEP NO. 1

Register as a buyer

Telephone SFM's Credit Office between 7am - 3pm Monday to Friday on 61 2 9004 1125 or email creditoffice@sydneyfishmarket.com.au.

First you will need to complete an application form.  If you apply for a seven day account you will be asked to provide security (cash or bank guarantee) and your credit status will be checked.  If you prefer you can open a cash account which involves paying in full for your purchases each day. Payment must be made in cash before product is removed from the auction floor.

STEP NO. 2

Find out about the Sydney Fish Market's computerised Dutch auction clock system.

The Credit Office will explain how the auction works. They will provide information on the Market's rules and conditions and how to buy at the auction.

STEP NO. 3
