Got to give it to Matt Asiata for dressing up like a turkey today . Way to get into the spirit of the holiday <| sep |> That ' s incredible I actually just had an almost identical conversation , they couldn ' t believe that 12 were missed last week and said something about how the game was so much better back in their day <| sep |> Oh my god . Overwatch . <| sep |> So would you consider actively seeking out arousal a relapse ? <| sep |> buy a web hosting which web hosting is the most suitable for this kind of web site ? For a High Availability ecommerce website ? Multiple physical servers , with redundancy , IP failovers , fast internet connection and some nice enterprise grade SSDs . Also a huge spot for backups . buy a software for this kind of website online retailerThere ' s a lot of existing ecommerce engines , many are actually freeopen source Magento for example . What I am afraid is that what you have in mind might require a fully customized solution built from scratch . Fair warning this will cost you 5 digits worth of dollars . payment systemSimplest way is to keep track of products sold over your site and then ask X % from sellers at the end of the month . You can also make payments go through your own site , eat a part of it and pay out the rest to the seller . I will be honest drop down with the level of your project . It ' s one thing to make an ecommerce shop for your own needs . This is relatively cheap , you can use open source solutions and can make it do with a single sysadmin looking at your server from time to time . Heck , a single dev can write such a thing from scratch over a month or two . It ' s however a completely different thing to provide an ecommerce platform for multiple sellers . Can you even take care of refunds and negative reviews ? Who is to blame if a seller proves out to be a fake and someone orders a new Samsung Galaxy and gets a brick ? I mean , it ' s a fully justified concern that a buyer will sue YOU over that . Can you afford lawyers to write bulletproof terms of service and potentially fight for you in the court ? How will you deal with credit card chargebacks ? What about website downtimes can you even afford proper redundancy and backups ? What in case your site gets hacked ? Potential attacker and your type of website is a VERY profitable target might alter data on prices , change numbers on money balance sellers currently have assuming payments go through you . Heck , you can even be used as a money laundry you just need a fake seller putting something for a stupid high price and a fake buyer that purchases it with a stolen credit card . Money goes to you , you take your part and send the rest to the seller , this will repeat X times before a victim of a card theft realizes the problem and charges back . You lose money , thief is happy and then you also get to have fun times in court . To cirvumvent this you will need detailed info on sellers like scan of their ID , possibly a car license , their company ' s ID if appliable , test money transfer made from them to you so you can see if this data matches . Again do you even understand what kind of architecture is needed to keep this secure and not annoying for an end user ? There are workarounds you can try making something similar to craigslist and ask few pennies to make your own advertisement there . This might turn viral , at least such approach worked really well in here Poland and one company that did it now bathes in cash . Note you still will need archival data accessible etc , fake sells will occur and then you might be asked by police to hand over logs . But you are unlikely to be an actual side in a court . I would refrain from trying to recreate Amazon . You DON ' T have resources for that .
