Getting Started

Welcome to the platform. This section explains how the marketplace works, who it’s for, and what to expect when you buy or sell.

What is the platform?

The platform is an online marketplace that connects independent sellers with buyers looking for unique products.

Each seller runs their own shop, sets their own prices, and fulfils their own orders.
The platform provides the technology, payment processing, and support structure that makes this possible.

Who can use the platform?

The platform is open to:

  • Buyers looking to purchase products from independent sellers

  • Sellers offering approved products that meet marketplace rules

Users must be at least 18 years old or have permission from a legal guardian, depending on local laws.

How buying and selling works

Buying

  • Browse or search for products

  • Add items to your basket

  • Complete checkout securely

  • Communicate with sellers through the platform if needed

Selling

  • Create a seller account

  • Set up your shop

  • List products for sale

  • Manage orders and customer communication

Detailed seller guidance is available once you create a seller account.

Creating an account

You can create an account in just a few steps:

  1. Choose Sign up

  2. Enter your email address and create a password

  3. Confirm your email

One account can be used for buying.
Selling requires additional setup.

Buyer vs seller accounts

  • Buyer accounts allow you to purchase items and leave reviews

  • Seller accounts allow you to open a shop and sell products

You can upgrade a buyer account to a seller account at any time.

Is the platform safe to use?

The platform is designed with safety and transparency in mind:

  • Secure payment processing

  • Private messaging between buyers and sellers

  • Clear rules and dispute processes

  • Monitoring for fraud and abuse

No marketplace is risk-free, but safeguards are in place to protect users wherever possible.
