What features do you need to start an online marketplace that doesn't suck?

There are 3 main parties that make a marketplace platform possible – sellers, buyers and the platform itself. Now, put yourself in their shoes. Think of their needs. What do they want first and foremost? Sellers primarily want to sell. This means listing, selling and dispatching products efficiently. Buyers primarily want to buy. This means searching for the best products and purchasing them quickly. The platform connects buyers with sellers and generates revenue doing it. This means having the right tools to support your marketplace business model.
