Marketplace overview
The ISPMan Marketplace is a store inside your dashboard for the things an ISP needs: equipment, SMS bundles and sender IDs, upstream internet capacity, services and software, and verified technicians. You can also sell your own spare equipment to other ISPs, and even list your business or a site for sale. Payments are held by ISPMan until you confirm you received what you paid for.
