Peer-to-peer marketplace with offer negotiation and object-scoped chat

A resale platform where users list products, others request offers, and an accepted offer triggers delivery — with chat scoped to the specific job, product or garage being discussed.

01 — Challenge

Generic chat is useless in a marketplace: a conversation has to be about a specific object or the context is lost. Offer negotiation also needed states that could not be ambiguous when money and delivery followed.

02 — Approach

Built garage, sales and jobs modules over a shared listing model, with offer request and acceptance as explicit states, and chat bound to the object under discussion so every conversation carries its own context.

03 — Impact

Users negotiate offers and arrange delivery across multiple module types, with conversations that stay attached to what they are actually about.
