Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description fits that of a purchasing agent, who develop and maintain long-term relationships with buyers and handle the entire purchasing process for them.  A selling agent typically represents the seller and assists in the selling process, while a broker brings buyers and sellers together but does not necessarily oversee the entire purchasing process. A commission merchant acts as an intermediary between buyers and sellers, typically for agricultural products, and a drop shipper ships products directly from the manufacturer to the buyer without handling the merchandise.
