dCommerce is Seeking Experienced Devs & Social Media Activists

dcommerce (64)in #dcommerce • 5 years ago (edited)

People almost always decide on how they feel rather than how they think.

This is the basis of the WIIFM (What's In It For Me) factor that drives buying behavior. The dCommerce platform is stoking the WIFFM by offering a one of a kind Crypto token rewards based, peer to peer, borderless shopping channel that quickly and efficiently matches willing buyers with sellers. Our vision is to advance the evolution of online commerce through integration of Cryptocurrency and Blockchain technology-based reward incentives. The aim is not to be a simple auction platform, nor just another shopping site; but rather a far more incentivizing experience for both buyers and merchants that reaches well beyond completed transactions.

Stay tuned, as we are about to release a revised White Paper, a unique domain site along with a robust roadmap towards commercial launch and profitability.

Is it valid and how does it work internationally? How would the shipping system be to other countries?

To a seller standpoint, let's say the seller came up with a unique item to sell, probably a new invention by the seller - is there a way for the @dcommerce platform to copyright / authenticate the invention so that it will be safe from piracy? Will there be a form of protection for the seller's item so to prevent unauthorized reproduction by someone else?

I think that ecommerce platform built on top of a blockchain will not be governed by other entity / authority. And so there is a high chance that other sellers might replicate an original item and sell it at a low price creating dispute among sellers.

This will be a tough one.... But...

Whenever i have to make any kind of decision, whenever i have to decide on any action, i always ask myself 1 question. And that is the exact question you written down in the very first sentence.

WIIFM (What's In It For Me)

I dont think any action is purely altruistic but those actions that benefit the biggest number of people are preferable in a society like this..

The first problem i see dcommerce facing is @haejin.
The general perception of him is that he acts only in a way that benefits himself personally, in a way that maximizes his own gain and users dislike that. (That being true or not doesnt matter)
That is the general sentiment and im sure that Haejin is aware of that. He might not care, i dont know, but asking for engagement from the community, even support, while that is the case, makes that the first obstacle for him to cross.

But...
Im going to quote myself from a few sentences above:

...but those actions that benefit the biggest number of people are preferable in a society like this..

Dcommerce (and yes, even Dstors) could be seen as projects that will benefit a large number of people making them a positive addition to the blockchain.
Regardless of that, the problem still remains of changing the perception of the community about the person spearheading the project.
That i think is something that Haejin should focus on and over a short period of time could change.

To answer the "WIIFM" (Whats in it for me) question...
It all depends how generous Dcommerce is, how well they deal with PR going forward and how hard Haejin works to change the perception of the community of him.
If supporting Dcommerce didnt have the "Haejin stigma" attached to it, i personally wouldnt have any problem supporting the project as a regular Steemian. Same goes for Dstors and their Kaliju drama or any other project for that matter..

Just a few thoughts...
Keep on Steeming.

I don't know what he expects. He is abusing SP and flagging together with starjuno and ranchorelaxo especially on little guys. They drove off lots of users, new comers and old users. Users which built their reputation building real content not by speculation and trading. They have trouble comprehending that their behavior is also affecting their wallets on a long term.

Great question. As a former Ebay and Amazon seller, I stopped because it is a scammer paradise now from the buying side. Ebay will almost always take their word, even if what you shipped them weighed 22 lbs and what they whipped back weighed 3.

Paypal can be just as bad despite severing their ties officially with Ebay. If Dcommerce demonstrates they can handle this tug between buyer/seller more fairly than Ebay and bring buyers to the site, I figure their biggest issue will be handling the server load from growth. Many gave up on Ebay (as I did) and many more learn the hard way as evidenced by their seller forums which I still peruse sometimes to see if anything got better.

@practicalthought - I sell on eBay with PayPal constantly and there are 99% positives to the 1% negative you're highlighting. I've sold and shipped thousands & thousands of items/packages (usually 4-8 a day) and have had your scenario happen twice at most ever in 5 years. In those rare cases of a deliberate scammer, either eBay or PayPal made it right after I spoke with the proper people. The last time I had an issue over an eBay policy, I wrote to the CEO, who responded in 20 minutes, and was invited into their office for lunch with the global head of seller engagement who gave me all sorts of perks (after all types of other proactive calls from other staff). The head of seller engagement told me he used my email company-wide and also said they'd be making changes to what impacted me in the upcoming Q2/Q3. Doesn't sound so bad to me...

What you say happens, but it's rare and not something weighty enough in % of transactions to frame them as bad options as a whole.

Congratulations on your great success on Ebay. Unfortunately, that has not been the case for myself or many others. One can see this by visiting their seller forums, where the old timers who still frequent there have the motto, "don't list it unless you can afford to give it away"

You can also see this from many of the older sellers who ran good volume who quit because they found themselves in the same scenario.

I'm unsure what part category may have to do with this, as I have seen that suggested on those boards as well. But the fact is, when a buyer decides they want your item for free, Ebay will usually bend over backwards to ensure they get their wish. Having remained in sales in the real world via live auctions and swap meets over the years since I quit Ebay, I have sold to many regulars who were pickers that still sold on Ebay. So I do know it's possible and happens, but I have little patience for thieves and it takes more balls to steal something when the owner is right in front of you.

I wrote to the CEO, who responded in 20 minutes, and was invited into their office for lunch with the global head of seller engagement who gave me all sorts of perks (after all types of other proactive calls from other staff). The head of seller engagement told me he used my email company-wide and also said they'd be making changes to what impacted me in the upcoming Q2/Q3. Doesn't sound so bad to me...

Congratulations especially for this. I would say this is even rarer than selling with virtually no scammers, as I have never met nor encountered anyone before now that was a normal seller on Ebay that had access to the CEO, got through and was rewarded with lunch and other unspecified perks. I think you will agree that is not a common response for the head of a large corporation such as Ebay to have with the sellers on their venue, unless we are talking a large corporation such as when ToysRus was briefly there getting their negatives and metrics scrubbed daily so they wouldn't be punished as a normal seller would be.

I have to admit to being excited at the idea of a competitor to Ebay (and Amazon since they have been gating so many categories). Especially one that will allow alternate forms of payment to be able to bypass Paypal. I am not currently in a position to go to auctions, nor do I have a good flea market nearby to funnel items through. But I still have some of the collectibles I shipped when I moved to resell at some point, and will be moving hopefully this summer to an area that does have a good flea market. This venue would be a perfect compliment, and who knows, maybe one that would allow for a decent living.

Good question, @baah and thanks!

For transactions using STEEM/SBD; the built in escrow feature will be utilized. For established merchants, funds will be release upon tracking info availability. For new merchants, funds will be held for 3 days post tracking info availability and then released. For transactions paid via Paypal or Visa, scams can be resourced directly to them for resolution.

For antiscam actions, we will first profile out any users contained in the Global Black list. Second, any IP from known suspicious sources will be blocked.

For outright scams, our function will be to investigate, mediate and block proven scammers.

The buyer/merchant will each also be rated per number of successful transaction and feedback scoring. Known scammers will obviously be at the bottom of such a scale. Sellers can also be able to block out unwanted buyers, but this feature will be a Phase II.

At the end of the day, reputation score will play the biggest role. In fact, the reputation score of buyer and seller will have calculation component in the distribution of reward tokens.

At the end of the day, we are a match maker of willing buyers and sellers. We admit, that all scams won't be detectable nor preventable. So, the scenario you profile can occur. Merchant/Seller reputation scores will have the strongest preventative role.

In other words, if you're buying from a low scoring merchant....the risk is pretty much on you and vice versa for seller. The seller can block out a threshold level of low rep scoring buyers.

Yes, on launch, all will have same starting rep scores. However, the growth process will enable the development of established sellers and reputable buyers.
One of our goals is to populate the marketplace with established Merchants from ebay, Etsy, Shopify as this would mitigate the "risk" perception.
