Origami Network bi-weekly update
The year 2020 is undoubtedly the year of the C2C marketplace for Origami Marketplace, as these two new customers can attest!
The marketplace, a C2C trusted third party
Origami Marketplace offers a C2C marketplace solution that provides users with an ergonomic platform that is easy to handle and facilitates sales between individuals.
Many players decide to launch a customer-to-customer marketplace for several reasons:
- ecological reasons : the second-hand market is booming, thanks to the emergence of projects such as Vinted.
- new consumer habits : These platforms bring individuals together in a collaborative economy, exchanges based on sharing (barter or monetary exchange).
- economical reasons : According to the MFI, the market for second-hand goods — clothing and fashion accessories — was worth EUR 1 billion last year. Vinted online second-hand clothing accounted for 56% of this total. A June 2018 LSA report states that 28% of French women have already bought second-hand clothes.
In order to facilitate the daily life of sellers and buyers, it is essential to offer them a tool that is easy to use and designed for them. The C2C marketplace has many key and native functionalities:
- registration in just a few clicks
- verified sellers
- a simple and fast online publishing
- a secure tripartite transaction
- bulk purchases
- the generation of tailor-made delivery notes by qualified carriers
- internal three-way messaging — for quick and easy communication between buyers and sellers
