How does the system work? How does the trade occur?
Marchaa.com offers services intended to two different groups of people; buyers and sellers (travelers). You can find the details of how the system works below.
I am a buyer. I would like to place an order to a seller who can travel from a foreign country to my country of residence. What should I do on Marchaa.com?
Find travelers (sellers) to order: It may be the case that some products are not on the market or are very expensive in your country of residence. In such cases, you can order these products to a person who is soon going to travel to your country of residence from the country where you want to buy the product from. You can find the appropriate sellers traveling to your country of residence on your preferred dates through Marchaa.com.
Let the travelers (sellers) find you: Sometimes you may not be able to find a seller to bring your requested product to you on your preferred dates. Not a problem! Just post a listing as buyer on Marchaa.com! Make sure to specify your requested product, product details, the price of the product and the amount of commission that you can afford to pay to your seller for his service. If you don't have an idea on the price of products that you want, you can as well leave all these details to a late negotiation that you will have with your seller once you find him. Post a listing on Marchaa.com and let the sellers traveling to your country find you!
Negotiate: You just found the seller who can bring the product you want to you. Now it's negotiation time! Make an offer to your seller on Marchaa.com and specify your requested product, product details, the price of the product and the amount of commission that you can afford to pay to your seller for his service. The seller may extend a counter offer to you and the negotiation may go on. Once both sides agree on the terms, your seller will be on its way to your country of residence to bring your requested product.
Make your payment securely: To send a payment to an unknown seller living in a foreign country can be risky. That's why you make your payment to Marchaa.com. Marchaa.com will block your payment in its secure bank account and will not send it to your seller until the transaction successfully ends. Once your seller brings your requested product to you and you confirm that everything is fine with the delivery, you will send us your confirmation through Marchaa.com and only then your payment will be sent to your seller. In cases where you receive a defective or wrong product, your payment will be immediately refunded to you.
I am a seller. I have an international trip soon and I am willing to take orders and deliver products. What should I do on Marchaa.com?
Find buyers who want to order products: If you are internationally traveling soon, you can make money out of your trip using Marchaa.com. There may be people in your destination country who want to order products to you. You can find these potential buyers on Marchaa.com prior to your trip.
Let the buyers find you: Your trip date has been set and you don't want to spend time looking for buyers. Just post a listing as traveler on Marchaa.com! Make sure to specify the products you can bring, product details, the price of the products and the amount of commission that you want to charge for your service. Post a listing on Marchaa.com and let the buyers find you!
Negotiate: You just found the buyer who wants to order. Now it's negotiation time! Make an offer to your buyer on Marchaa.com and specify the products you can bring, product details, the price of the product and the amount of commission that you want to charge for your service. The buyer may extend a counter offer to you and the negotiation may go on. Once both sides agree on the terms, your buyer will make the payment and you will be on your way to your destination country to bring the requested product.
Get your payment securely: Trading with an unknown buyer who lives in a foreign country can be risky. Likewise, it is risky for the buyer to send the payment without being sure that he will get the product. That's why buyer makes the payment to Marchaa.com. Marchaa.com will block the payment in its secure bank account until the transaction successfully ends. Marchaa.com will let you know when the buyer makes the payment. Then, you can go ahead and acquire the requested product and bring it to buyer without any worries. Once you deliver the product, the transaction will be successfully completed and Marchaa.com will immediately send the payment to you.
