Hey MAS, thanks a lot!

Yes, since we are all developers and a complete zero at marketing, there's a lot we need to learn about SEO, thanks for the link.

As for the other comments, you're super cool to test the website out for us :) We're working on improvements, just wanted to launch an early version to get a general sense if people will like the concept or not. But it will be better in a couple of weeks, promise!

Same spirit, but because it's international I could sell some items to a customer from abroad without problems of deliveries and taxes anymore. though dunno how many from our rare tourists are using it
Jerome wroteHey have you seen this? grabr
Sure I know them! They are more focused on Latin America and South East Asia, and on countries where you have PayPal.. But the concept behind is similar, so they are cool, too ;)
You would not believe how many times I blinked with excitement when I read this thread since I was looking for a service like this for ages.
Please PM me the web address link.
Allow me to explain
I'm a veteran simracing driver to many in the area/region this hobby does not exist. The hardware side of it is similar to the interest of PC enthusiasts here and the products available to purchase from USA or Europe ranges from the heavy bulky Items to small Items.
The problem is that most of the retailers of such products are usually simracing enthusiasts with handy skills in workshops using the latest CNC 3D printing technology since most of the products combine mechanical and electronic skills so creating high end products are created in batches which explain sometimes items going out of stock or sometimes a relatively period of delivery which also explains the popular second hand sales done by the community.

My question:
Is there any of your service coming soon from the USA? I have a second hand never opened product that I'm willing to buy from a community member, I have been waiting till Christmas since one of my relatives will be there but if there is someone coming sooner the better. The item is a pedal assembly and it weights not more than 5KG the seller excepts Paypal payment only and any wrong move with the deal will result me being exposed as a bad buyer to the community thus preventing me from any future deals and upgrades.

Since my request is special please PM or email me if you can help.

Thanks Mane I did a request on the webpage so fingers crossed.
Hey guys,

Need your help. Again :)

Buzz is getting out and people have started using the platform. Now we've got many orders, but it proves much easier to get orders than find travelers to deliver them.

So I was wondering maybe some of your friends/family is coming to Lebanon soon, and you could tell them about the platform? Most of the orders are for iPhones (surprise-surprise) and the reward varies from $20 to $100, so it will cover some of the travel costs.

Let me know what you think and thanks so much!

This is the ''dead'' season for travels, it's normal you will not find many travelers now, starting November till January it will be much more active as you have the end of the year Holidays and 75% of expats are coming here, you must do some ads in expats facebook pages like Lebanese in NYC or Lebanese of California, Libanais a Paris, Libanais a Geneve...

I know people can do something called ''detaxe'' when they are leaving France or any European country using a foreign passport or a proof of living outside Europe, it's very important as you can get 13% on electronics.
What about people leaving the US?
If yes how can you implement this option in your website?
Hello!

In the USA you can get tax refunds from 2 states only, Louisiana and Texas. The tax refunds would be additional cash made by travelers, since the state where they made a purchase would have the traveler's payment details.

But this means that buyers can offer very little reward if they're buying something eligible for a tax refund, knowing that the tax refund itself would be a payment for the travelers.

Good to know, but if the traveler is using detaxe when leaving an European country he can get 13% refund which is way too much as bonus, imagine a 500 euros item, he will get 65 euros bonus, it's the cost of DHL even more ;)
So better to implement an option in your website for the tax refund thingy, when a traveler say he will bring from Europe AND he lives outside Europe then you must give him a sort of warning that he can benefit from a tax refund, he should then agree with the buyer how they will act, will he get all the refund as the bonus or will he get a part of it?
I agree with you, we need to give this a second thought, though the implementation might be a bit tricky.

But even if a traveler gets a good bonus, it's not directly "your" money that he gets. I mean, with DHL you would need to pay 500+65 for delivery, which makes 565 in total, whereas in this case you'll only pay 500. And if there's a good bonus, more travelers would be ready to deliver the order for you, so you can choose the one coming sooner. So it's a win-win.
About the black Friday thingy, how can we specifically ask for the traveler to get your stuff at black Friday for special price only? It will be tricky unless we buy the thingy online and deliver it to him, but he must accept this prior to black Friday.
Also nobody knows if the stuff he wants will be on sale :s
Yep, nobody knows :) I'd say, let's put an order on the website, and when a traveler gets in touch, specify in the chat that you want that specific product but only if it's on sales.

You can deposit the maximum amount that you're willing to pay to the platform, so if the item is <= that price, the traveler will buy it for you. If the item costs less than your deposit, we'll refund you the difference.
If the item costs more than your deposit, we'll refund the whole deposit.

If all this doesn't work out (no traveler gets in touch), you don't lose anything, since you only need to deposit money when you find a traveler you like :) Volia.

What would you like to buy?
A GTX 1070
It's already 130$ less expensive than pcandparts, so imagine if one model get a 50-100$ discount!!
Though the big problem is that the box of a GTX card is big, so I doubt many travelers will accept

They can always get it without the box wrapped in clothes
