1. Introduction
When a buyer tries to search his needs, His first step is to contact a broker. A broker will have
several sellers’ Contacts. He will fix a price for the item. And the buyer will get to know the
information and price which the broker tells him. And that price is definitely higher than the
seller’s original price. In the middle broker fix a commission for him. And that’s a great loss
for the buyer.

After all the price problems if the seller inspect the item most of the time the information
about the item, which broker gives is false. Because Brokers will only work for their benefits.
So the business reliability will be broken. That’s a great problem for buyers.

Therefore, A Dynamic E-Commerce Website (Customer to Customer) which we are going

implement will be a great solution for buyers and sellers who don’t want brokers to get
involved in their business.

Using our website buyers won’t have to search for products manually. And with the old
system if a buyer need to inspect or see the item they need travel to the location. But
through our system we provide images of the products which a seller sells. And also the
buyer will have all the true information which are provided by the seller.

The user-interface of our website is so simple and attractive which will make the users
Comfortable to use. And it’s so simple for the user to register as a member and only
members can post advertisements but a normal user can view advertisements.

The website we are going to develop will give remedies for the problems that are currently
faced by the buyers and sellers. Shifting to an online system that we provide can acquire
advantages such as saving time and man hours. This will increase the efficient of day to day
business.
