Frequently Asked Questions
What is this?
It's a marketplace for buying and selling custom goods and products, and imagining new products that you want to buy or sell.
How does it work?
Anybody can generate images of physical products on our site with AI. Then if you want to buy those products we'll help you find someone who can manufacture them and sell to you. If you know how to produce products like the images that are generated by AI, you can produce those products and sell them.
How do I sell stuff?
The first step to sell stuff is to register as a seller here. We use Stripe Connect to handle registering you as a seller and paying you out.
Once you register, you can create quotes for any product listed on the website. You can also create new imagined producs at the new products page, and then create quotes for those new products.
How do bids and quotes work?
A bid is an offer to buy a product at a certain price. You can create a bid for a product from the product page. When you create a bid for $100.00, you're saying: "If someone can find or make this product for $100.00, I'd buy it!" (This value does not including the cost of shipping.)
A quote is an offer to sell a product for a certain price. When you create a quote for $100, you're saying: "I can find or make this product, and I'd be happy to sell it to you for $100.00". (Again, this doesn't include the cost of shipping.)
Bids automatically expire after 30 days if they are not fulfilled.
If there is a compatible quote and bid, we'll alert both the buyer and the seller. The buyer and seller can then message each other to discuss details.
When you create a quote for a product, add as much detail as possible so that the buyer is clear on what they're getting. You can also add images to your quote. If you're selling a product that you've made before, you can add images of that product. If you're selling a product that you've never made before, you can add images of similar products. If you have a website or an online portfolio or store, you should link to it to add legitimacy to your quote.
How do payments work?
When there is a bid which is compatible with a quote, the buyer who created the bid can accept the quote. Once a buyer accepts a quote, we'll charge the buyer's credit card and hold the money in escrow. When the seller ships the product, we'll release the money to the seller.
