We need to create a customer and product database for a new textbook website we are launching. The site will allow sellers to post textbooks for sale, and allow buyers to purchase the books. When a seller purchases a book they won’t actually buy it. Instead a notification will be sent to the seller, informing them that User X wants to buy the book from them. All payments and deliveries will be done outside of the site. The following is the functionality we need help setting up:
First Functionality: Allow users to create an account. Once an account is created the user can add and manage multiple products or listings, as well as their contact information. The listings will feed into the main website marketplace and be one of three statuses (sold, pending, available).
Second Functionality: We want to include a search option. The search results will display a list of books based on the selected search criteria. Users can then click on the search result to view more detailed information and seller reviews.
Third Functionality: Seller reviews. We want users to be able to review a seller and have those reviews display with each of the seller’s products/textbooks.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I’ll be posting some mockups soon.
