KampusMart is a college marketplace that allows students the opportunity to revamp their wardrobes for the season, rent books for new semester classes, and snag a good deal on furniture for a new off campus apartment all at once! To college students: this is your one-stop secondhand shop for all your campus needs. Let’s see what your classmates have to offer!! Here are the steps: REGISTER using your college email (make sure the app has been launched on your campus before doing so) and you will automatically be given an anonymous username. BUY items that show up on your feed or when you click on one of the 3 specific categories: clothing, furniture, and books. RENT books from other students for the semester or put your own books up for rent when you are done using them. SELL items in the three categories, regardless of whether the item has been used or is brand-new. When listing a product, make sure to include detailed information to allow buyers to easily look up the items if needed, which in turn increases your chances of making a sale! DELIVERY: Once a transaction has been processed, a chat feature will show up and allow buyers and sellers to agree on a time and place for pick-up/drop-off for the item. Please do not share any personal information through this feature! SALES: Once the seller has confirmed they have dropped off the product and the buyer has confirmed they have picked it up, the money will be sent to the seller’s PayPal. Please keep in mind that there is a transaction fee as well as a PayPal fee that will be taken from the total sale value before the money is deposited into the PayPal account. REWARDS: Collect points on each item sold and bought. A certain amount of points will result in cash that can be used within the app to make more purchases.
