Step 1 - Go to the "Solicit Sellers" page, which can be found on the left link menu (You can also click here to launch the Solicit Sellers page in a new window). Once you're logged in and on the "Solicit Sellers" page, click on the industry that you would like to search in (example shown below).
Step 2 - After clicking on an industry category (Step 1 above), a list of interested sellers in that industry will appear. Customize your contact list by un-checking the
