This blog is about marketplace safety in today’s world. We call it trade 2.0 since buying and selling in today’s online world is quite different from the traditional trading of 20th century. Buying and selling used items and services in a world that is interconnected is convenient but potentially worrisome for many buyers. Studies have shown that in a normal transaction, it is not possible for buyers to trust sellers. The reason is that the buyers do not know the sellers’ background and hence always doubt their motives.
The buyers can trust sellers only if there exists a common link that connects them together. With the help of this blog, we aim to advice people on how to build that link and, hence, adds trust to the transactions. We show a way to a culture that values the relationship over the transaction. We list Dos and Dont, while trading with a stranger and how building a network of people can provide a trustworthy platform, where everyone can buy and sell with confidence.
