Multiply’s New Marketplace

You guys might not realize this, but we buy some of our gadgets from Multiply online stores. We’ve bought some photography equipment, some cameras, flash diffusers, clothing or accessory items, and even our enjoyable Shisha. (In fact, our last product unboxing – the Yongnuo 465 was bought from a Multiply seller.) So naturally, we’ve been familiar with the e-commerce that’s been going on among it’s audience and users. Multiply has noticed this as well and in order to bring those capabilities to the next level, the social networking site has launched the new and improved Marketplace for online sellers and buyers. The nouveau system now features a more robust online ordering system, stock maintenance, buyer protection systems, and various new improvements. With 88,000 online shops on its portfolio, Multiply is the largest online shopping destination for those of us who are looking for that bargain in the comfort of our own home.

This new system now incorporates a more solid ordering system – so you can shop with less paperwork and hassles, as well as new secure payment systems. Supported methods of payment include BDO Virtual Cards, BPI, Paypal and G-Cash – guaranteeing that you don’t even have to go to the bank and deposit money to have goods sent to your door. Finally, Multiply has also introduced new systems to prevent scams and other problems. The Buyer Protection program ensures safe transactions between buyers and sellers, while they’ve also instituted a Trusted logo for sellers with the proper reputation. This should keep the shady sellers at bay and keep the marketplace as clean and trustworthy as it should be.

With these new features it is now, more than ever, easier and simpler to shop from the Multiply marketplace. Simplifying payment systems, ordering systems and even guaranteeing the purchases to a certain level gives the new market a better, more robust experience for picking out our new goods. It might take a little bit more time for all the 88,000 stores to adopt the new system, but it’ll all be worth it. Currently, we’re seeing some of our gadget-selling friends slowly importing their product lineups and we can’t wait for them to completely adopt it so we can buy our new stuff in the new marketplace.
