OnBuy

OnBuy is an online marketplace based in the United Kingdom that connects buyers and sellers for a wide range of products. The platform operates as a multi-vendor e-commerce ecosystem, allowing independent retailers, brand owners, and wholesalers to list their items for sale while providing consumers with access to a vast catalog of goods spanning electronics, home and garden, fashion, toys, sports equipment, health and beauty, pet supplies, and more. The core functionality of OnBuy revolves around a transaction model where sellers create product listings with descriptions, prices, images, and shipping details, and buyers browse, compare, and purchase through a unified checkout system. The platform handles payment processing through integrated gateways, ensuring transactions are secured and funds are held in escrow until the buyer confirms receipt and satisfaction. Sellers benefit from a pay-as-you-sell fee structure with no monthly subscription charges, which includes a referral fee on each completed sale calculated as a percentage of the item price plus shipping. They also have access to a seller dashboard where they can manage inventory, track orders, communicate with buyers, and set up promotional discounts or coupons. OnBuy provides shipping options that allow sellers to offer free delivery or set flat rates, and the platform supports multiple carriers for fulfillment. For buyers, the marketplace offers a straightforward search and filter system by category, price range, brand, seller rating, and delivery time. Each product page shows detailed specifications, customer reviews with ratings, stock availability, and estimated dispatch dates. The shopping cart and wishlist features enable easy saving and comparison of items. A key aspect of OnBuy is its buyer protection
