Project was halted for review after much considerations...

Bro, while your idea is okay. I'll advice you to remove the 5k payment fees cos no merchant will pay that to you. Konga and jumia are already free. And there're lots of crafted products on the platform already as well. Seems, you didnt do your research well. This unique of yours doesnt look unique at all. Sorry to say, you need to go back to the drawing board and work on something better.

Moreover, the aspect of that 5k payment, let that be at the back of your mind for now and also the commission. Work on making the platform popular first. Kaymu didnt charge nothing for years when they came. They worked on the popularity and when they had it, they began to charge commission.

Once again, go back to the drawing board and work on how you could bring out something unique. All the best!

Thanks much bro. concerning the 5k payment, I made mentioned that the fee is just for reservation of merchants account due to limited no of merchants. Actually the platform will be able to handle thousands of merchants, cause it was built using latest programming applications of php& msql. but for start up launching we will only handle 500 merchants for now.
let me make something known for you. konga & kaymu are marketplace platform that was not initially built for merchants. But our platform is majorly built for only sellers. I believe major top marketplace websites like Amazon, alibab etc, started from somewhere........
Lastly the other fees that will be charged are not charged immediately after merchants registers online... nooooo. we will surely offer our merchants free list and commission for months prior to our break even..............
When our marketplace will be launch online. bro am given you my word you will surely rate us 100% for the platform.


Thanks for your suggestion.

All intersted merchants are to note that, the 5k payment is just for reservation of dedicated store account, which is fully refunded when merchants updates their bank account details on their store dashboard.
For the first few months of using our platform, we will offer free products listing, an free commission on sale of each product. But all merchants are to know that we will later offer charges on listing and commission, which will be announced on the platform, she our sellers policies must have been revised.
