Short Summary My Team and i want to create an online marketplace like ebay, amazon or alibaba, with the difference that we, as marketplace owners, do not ask for commissions on sales or purchases! And how would we make money to keep the marketplace alive? With subscriptions, for example: if someone wants to sell something on the marketplace, they have to buy a subscription package, this pack will describe how much they can sell and how long their subscription will last. How did we come up with this idea? We are online sellers and have been using ebay, amazon and alibaba since 2013 to sell electronics and other items. We always sell large quantities of products, and always have to spend a lot of money to getting our products highlighted on ebay and others. That's why, two months ago, we decided to create our own online site where we put great value on the satisfaction of our sallers. What are our goals? Our first and biggest goal is to create a trusted, secure and fast online shop platform. We attach great importance to the fair and good treatment of our sellers and the safety of our buyers. We want to offer small and large sellers the same opportunities to increase their profits and make their lives easier. We would like to be known as a great secure site for online sales that can be said to really care about their customers. What We Need & What You Get In order to put our plan into action, we collect money, with this money we pay all the people who help us with it. Web Developers, Designers, Marketing Experts, Lawyers, and others. All in all, we need 60 thousand euros to complete our project in less than half a year. Everyone who donates their contribution will receive a coupon code for our shop, depending on the amount that has been processed, this coupon code will be calculated in percent. Buyers will get different coupon codes than sellers. If a buyer donates, he will get a coupon code that he can use in our later shop. Sellers will get discounts on our subscription packages. Then they could save even more on the sales. If we do not reach our target of 60 thousand euros, we will take out a loan so that our plan will nevertheless be a success. Our Risks & Challenges The biggest challenge is to make our shop very well known. Since we have found lots of customers and partners from ebay, amazon and other online shops since 2013, we will try to tell them about our plans and hope for their help. Also big hurdle will be to protect our shop for scammers and fake sellers. Therefore, we will insert a form in which each seller must introduce ourselves personally and be confirmed according to the German law for online sales. Other Ways You Can Help If you are unable to donate, there is no reason to forget about us, you can also make a big contribution just by talking about our plans and the name ShipShap.Shop. This will make our idea more heard and we will get more support. Thank you for taking the time to read this post. Greetings from Germany. How much will a subscription package cost for sellers? We have 4 Models of Subscription Packages. This depends on how much the seller wants to sell. - https://pastebin.com/UgWB29rV Read more here! How do you regulate the shipment? We as page owners will not ship anaything, for this the seller has to take care of, he can tell which shipment he chooses and how long the shipment will take. If we take over the shipping for our sellers then we have to charge extra money and we do not want any extra cost for our sellers. In the future, we will definitely add shipping for those who need it and do not want to do it themselves. But that will affect the subscription packages. How far are you with your project? We have taken care of everything important and found people who can help us. The only thing we need is financing. What coupon codes will I get as a donor? It depends on whether you want to sell or buy. If you are a buyer, you will receive discount vouchers on products until your donation has been used up. If you are a seller you will get discount on your monthly subscription package. Can I become a business partner? Yes, of course, we would be happy about new business partners. Write us an email and introduce yourself, tell us what you are selling and on which platforms. [email protected] For email reason, please use: ShipShapShop partnershi
