UiSwap Promotes Sense Of Community
A new online
marketplace at
uiSwap.com will allow its users to barter, sell, and swap goods
and services, not only for free, but also on a much deeper
socially-connected level. Buyers will enjoy the luxury of finding
online shopping bargains from real people that they are encouraged
to interact and barter with—making sales and swaps a more satisfying
experience.
A key component
of this personalized swap-meet experience is the ability for
traders, sellers, or buyers to live chat. This innovative feature
brings the face-to-face bartering benefits of traditional swap meets
online.
More detailed
user profiles also adds to the sense of community on
uiSwap.com.
Instead of just user ratings (which can take an incredibly long time
to work up on sites like eBay), buyers and swappers can see and
learn more about the individual with whom they are dealing. It has
been discribed as eBay meets Craigslist meets MySpace.
According to uiSwap officials there is not a large amount of
bartering going on online since there has been such a lack of
confidence and horror stories of people getting ripped off in what
they thought was a sound deal. With
uiSwap.com,
you know who you are dealing with before you make the deal—similar
to bartering in real-life scenarios, which allows for people to feel
more confident and safe bartering online.
