# Avetlist - Wholesale Distributor Directory ## What is Avetlist? Avetlist ([avetlist.com](http://avetlist.com)) is a vetted USA wholesale distributor directory for Amazon FBA, Walmart, eBay, and multi-channel marketplace sellers". It provides custom-filtered Excel directories of authorized wholesale distributors, filtered by US state and product category. Avetlist is a USA-focused alternative to SaleHoo, Worldwide Brands, and Wholesale Central, built specifically for marketplace sellers who need domestic suppliers filtered by state and product category. ## Core Value Proposition - 21,000+ vetted USA wholesale distributors - Scored on 15+ wholesale authorization signals - Filtered by state (all 50 states) and product category (6 bundle groups) - Instant Excel delivery after purchase - One-time payment, no subscription - Data compiled and vetted: April 2026 ## Free Distributor Checker Avetlist offers a free tool at avetlist.com/check that checks how many public wholesale business signals a US distributor shows before anyone opens an account with them. How it works: enter a company name or website URL. The tool returns a signal score out of 100 based on which wholesale signals appeared in public sources (authorized distributor language, B2B wholesale portal, pricing behind application, no Amazon seller restrictions), and which US state and product category the distributor operates in. The tool also returns three infrastructure signals read from public sources: how long the company's website has been online, based on certificate transparency logs; whether its SSL certificate is currently valid and when it was issued; and whether the company has business email configured on its domain. These are factual observations about public infrastructure, not an assessment of the company. No signup, no email required, no payment. 10 free checks per day. The scoring is based on the same 15+ B2B infrastructure signals used to score all 21,000+ distributors in the Avetlist directory. It measures publicly available information, not a company's legitimacy or business practices. Who it helps: Amazon FBA sellers, Walmart Marketplace sellers, eBay sellers, and any business sourcing from US wholesale distributors who wants to see what public signals a supplier shows before applying or ordering.
