The Problem
Collectibles trading lives in scattered Discord servers and DM threads, where scams are common and nobody trusts the other side of the deal. The marketplace needed to make strangers comfortable exchanging real money — payments, fees, and trust built into the rails, not bolted on.
The Build
Stripe Connect payment rails
Integrated Stripe Connect so funds move between buyers, sellers, and the platform with escrow-style holding — nobody pays a stranger directly.
Commission & variable-fee modeling
Built a pricing engine that models platform commission and category-specific fees, keeping every trade transparent before money moves.
Transaction reconciliation
Every trade reconciles end to end — listings, offers, payouts, and fees traceable from a single record.
Backend data modeling
Designed the data architecture for listings, trades, and user reputation so the marketplace can scale without a rebuild.
The Outcome
An active product build demonstrating the marketplace architecture, pricing logic, and payment flows under development. It is not yet a shipped venture.
