Just like in everyday buying and selling there are the supermarkets and the open markets.
Suppliers bring the goods and it's displayed in supermarkets at a margin but buyers no nothing about the supplier.

In the open markets buyers get products directly from the sellers and relationships are built for repeat transactions.
Ecommerce sites like Jumia and konga are like the supermarkets online and are making millions on a daily basis but you may have only recently found out that people like you can become sellers on these sites.

Yes, if you have a business with good inventory, you can sell any category of products that you want to sell. The key is ensuring constant supply. You'll be like the supermarket supplier and will get paid on agreed intervals.

On the other hand an online marketplace or simply an online market is like the open market where the seller meets the buyer directly to transact business. Jiji is an example of this for you to list and retail while on Gotahia online market you can sell as a retailer to the consumers who buy in bits while you have the wholesalers who will give you the lowest price to enable you make good profit within the market.

So where can you make more money?

The answer depends on how much time you can put into your business. If you don't have the time to take care of things yourself then ecommerce sites will be ideal for you but it comes at some cost. But one thing that can add to your convenience is getting your products from the big wholesalers you can find on online markets like Gotahia. This way you can source for products, replenish your inventory and complete your sales without leaving your home or office.

But if you've got what it takes and time to put in a little bit of work you can make as much money as your strength can carry you with online markets.

First, you can build relationships with buyers who will become loyal customers, you don't have to pay commissions on every sale, you can continue to do business outside the platform, even if you quit the market you'd have built a clientele to continue your business.

So you can make more money on online markets but it's quite competitive just like having a shop in a busy market.

But what makes it better is the convenience at Gotahia Market, you can buy from the suppliers who are only available to you as a retailer, who sell in bulk at lower prices and then you can sell to the final consumers for profit in the same market.
