Buyam is an online market with the sole objective of giving buyers that exact experience and feeling they get when buying directly (face-to-face) from a market or shop by allowing them to chat with the vendor thereby negotiating the price of the product and both parties coming to an agreement. This feature of allowing buyers negotiate price of items they normally do in a market is what makes Buyam different from all other existing e-commerce applications.
