4. Loopholes in Current Scenario
Problem 1:
I would like to share my own personal experience “ Once I wanted to buy a used mobile
phone and when I searched for online, I got one from Bangalore. On completion of
negotiation with the seller I decided to purchase the same but there was no option of
online payment and he told me to pay on pick up”.
Problem 2:
Sellers from India have to use different platforms to sell their products in different formats
like sellers use retail marketplaces to sell in retail and use B2B marketplaces to sell in bulk
which is very difficult to manage.
5. Solution 1:
Room2shop offers Auction Facility to the buyers as well as sellers where sellers will be able
to list his second hand goods as well as dead stocks and will be able to sell it nationwide
buyers who are not required to travel and can pay online.
Hence the problem will be eradicated.
Solution 2:
We offer a platform for the sellers where they can list their products in Wholesale, Retail,
Auction all at the same place. Hence managing different sites will not be an issue.
