I hope I am not getting in trouble here by plugging my own marketplace on these boards but I will give it a try. Sorry admin if I have breached your board policies but I could not find anything re advertising.
Just like many people I have had a bad experience with eBay a few years back and decided to start my own marketplace. I could have just as easily joined an eBay alternative but I was tired of seeing all the eBay clones so I decided to start coding my own marketplace based on the what I thought needed to change in ecommerce at the time especially with the rise of social networking and rich media, facebook and youtube to be precise.
Long story short, I, along with my team, recently launched Buzzmart which is what we like to call a "social marketplace". I believe Buzzmart is unique in which we have tried to create a very different marketplace from what is currently out there by incorporating aspects of social networking, such as a blogspot, unique user profiles, a transparent user commenting system for listings, live chat and many more to enable buyers and sellers to more openly communicate to one another and improve overall safety from fraudsters. We have also included features like adding live web cam recording to your listing, embedding media from other websites, galleries and are adding fun and exciting new features on a daily basis.
Best of all we do not charge any fees.
As we are a steadily growing start-up we would really appreciate your comments and feedback which is one of the main reason for me joining this board.Furthermore, good ideas that are worth implementing are always welcome so please tell us and we are likely to do it.
Thank for reading!
