Dear All.
Hi my name is Michael I am one of the co-founders of Buzzmart.com. Since a young age I have been an advocate of buying and selling online, specifically on ...cough..ebay..cough sorry. I really enjoyed making my own money and most of all I enjoyed spending it even more. However, over time, especially as I grew older and realized that I needed more money to support myself, I realized the bay was too expensive for a small scale seller as myself. After the deduction of all fees, it was just not worth it anymore. So I thought of maybe trying other websites that do not charge such big commissions. Fair enough, there were many just like the bay out there but there was just something missing about all of them which did not make them stand out. They all felt like they were clones of one another, doing what ebay does at a cheaper cost to the seller but without offering anything unique. Not to say that this does not work. However, with the rise of facebook and youtube, I thought it would be a good idea to start my own marketplace which would incorporate some of these social networking and rich media elements, and so the story of Buzzmart begins.
In a way, I would describe Buzzmart as just having started off as a hobby, and it still is my hobby project, but after conducting some research into what people would like to see in new online marketplaces I decided to turn it into a business as well. After months, weeks, days, hours and time we should have been spending with our girlfriends, what you see live today at http://www.buzzmart.com is what we have been working on the last 2 years almost. To be honest we really underestimated the amount of work, think about having to code a marketplace from scratch as well as include social networking features. Not easy I tell you.
Anyways, we are continuing development as I write this. The ecommerce/auction market is a very competitive one to enter, with some very big players and sites popping up left and right before you can say "oh no, not another one!!". So we have to be realistic about our goals, but we truly believe we have something different from most our competitors. Our goal right now is to get as many people signed up and selling their stuff for free, with no commission or final fees. Marketing costs are not cheap as many website owners will know, so our success relies on our users to join and start selling.
Thanks all for reading.
