This is something truly unique on steemit. I want to see if I can do e-commerce in steemit.
PROJECT STEEMERCE
As some of you might know, I am in the merchanting and logistics industry.
This means I know the cost price of almost every item you can find on Amazon, thus my name.
So I want to attempt to sell to someone something they want from amazon at COST PRICE.
The whole costing of the product will be as transparent as it can be in a post like the below posts on fidget spinner etc.
How will this work
Cost will be reveal in this manner, if you are interested. The price I will be selling will be cost price (also online price, in that post)At the bottom of the post, there will be a full breakdown of the cost. Also a possible minimum order quantity(MOQ), why you ask?
Sending say 1 fidget spinner over to you, the shipping will be multiples of the product definetely, we should work out a quantity that fits. ie: 1kg will be charged for the weight regardless, will/should you buy just 1?
Cost of product + international shipping + 5-10%(This is my service fee)
So why the low service fee, If that product is really fantastic, steemit will be able to make me some extras offsetting the service fee.
Payment
Fully transparent on Steemit. (No monkey business)
Deal with only SBD
After payment has been sent, send a screenshot to my discord acc, I will initiate the shipping, possibly with tracking.
This will create a new market for selling on steemit and only using STEEM or SBD. With demand, this can be beneficial to the whole community.
Foreseeable Problems
Item too cheap and Moq is too low, ie 1$ item might take $10 to ship
Advantages
Supplier price- works well for pricier items ie action camera
Amazon sells min price of $50 when the product cost a median price of $25 shipping may just cost $10 too.
A bit of math, and you should understand!
I really need your help to start this, I am just a small minnow now, I need to get this out as far as I can.
Comment if you got any ideas on how i should do this?
Upvote if you think this is worth working on.
Re-steem if you want to see this work!
If you think this idea is bad, let me know why. We are all here to learn, maybe strike a discussion on how this can be done.
