Watch Marketplace With Escrow

I am looking for an experienced professional web developer or development team to build a complete, fully functional e-commerce watch marketplace.

The website must support both buyers and independent sellers, allowing sellers to register, create accounts, list their watches for sale, manage orders, and receive payments.

Key Features and Requirements

1. Multi-Vendor Marketplace

* Separate buyer and seller registration and login.
* Seller dashboards to manage products, orders, sales and account details.
* Buyers can browse, search, compare and purchase watches.
* Sellers can upload watch photos, descriptions, prices and specifications.
* Product categories, filters, ratings and reviews.

2. Integrated Escrow Payment System (Very Important)

The most important feature is a secure escrow payment system that protects both buyers and sellers.

The payment process should work as follows:

1. A buyer selects a watch and places an order.
2. The buyer makes payment through the website.
3. The payment is securely held in escrow rather than being immediately transferred to the seller.
4. The seller receives the order and ships the watch to the buyer.
5. The seller provides a valid shipment tracking number through the platform.
6. The buyer can track the shipment and confirm receipt of the watch.
7. Once the buyer confirms successful delivery, the escrow system releases the funds to the seller.

The platform should also include an appropriate dispute-resolution process for cases where an item is not delivered, is damaged or does not match its description.

3. Payment and Financial Management

* Secure payment gateway integration.
* Automated escrow payment management.
* Seller withdrawal system.
* Transaction history and payment records.
* Automated payment notifications.
* Refund and dispute management.

4. Website Design and Functionality

* Modern, premium and professional watch marketplace design.
* Fully responsive across mobile, tablet and desktop.
* Fast loading speed and SEO-friendly structure.
* Admin dashboard with complete control over buyers, sellers, products, transactions and disputes.
* Email notifications and order management.
* Secure user authentication and data protection.

What I Expect From the Freelancer

I am looking for someone who has previously developed multi-vendor e-commerce marketplaces and, preferably, has experience integrating escrow or marketplace payment systems.

Important: I do not need a basic Shopify store, a simple product catalogue or a ready-made template. I need a complete, custom-built marketplace with a properly functioning escrow workflow.

When Applying, Please Provide:

1. Examples and links to multi-vendor marketplaces you have previously developed.
2. Your experience with escrow payment integration.
3. Your recommended technology stack.
4. Your estimated development timeline.
5. Your total project cost.
6. Confirmation that you can deliver the complete source code and all necessary administrative access.

I am interested in working with a serious, experienced developer who can deliver a secure, scalable and fully operational watch marketplace.
