The Challenge The challenge was to provide a place on the internet where buying & selling takes plce at incredibly low rates. The seller should be able to pick between an auction and a regular listing for the item for sale. Customers looking at the listings should receive certain amount of money for each click anywhere on the site. The seller should be charged for every click their listing, auction, or advertisement receives. Sellers should be able to advertise till the funds are in the account. Basically the overall idea is to pay the customers to shop & charge the seller very low rates either by listing or an auction.
The Solution
The solution offers services much similar to e-bay. The website allows users to bid, buy & sell almost everything. The website provides the features such as featured auction, personalized shopping page, favorite saved searches, most-wanted-item notifications, access to last-minute bargains, buyer protection program etc. It also provides thought-sharing facilities like discussion boards and chats. The solution also includes powerful web-based admin program to configure the essential entities of the website.
