DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a system for outsourcing the purchase and sale of goods at a flea market using a homepage on the Internet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The act of buying and selling commodities between individuals is mainly performed, for example, through flea markets and consignment sales. However, in the flea market, since the seller and the buyer are directly involved, those who think that contact is troublesome will be avoided. In addition, since no third party is involved, it is difficult to solve a problem in trading. In particular, when a flea market is opened in newspapers and magazines, there are problems such as limitations on the amount of paper that can be published, and the need to take time to receive products and payment.

[0003] On the other hand, in the case of consignment sales, it is necessary to visit the consignment store. This is the same for both sellers and buyers, but very cumbersome. Also,
In the conventional flea market, we have hardly ever heard an example of accepting a return even if we do not like the purchased product.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its object is to provide a flea market with an analogous buying and selling system by using the Internet. The purpose of the present invention is to eliminate complications associated with buying and selling and to realize a smooth transaction. Another object of the present invention is to realize an extremely large product listing space, that is, a remarkably rich transaction of products.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention establishes a homepage on the Internet, on which photos and conditions of goods to be bought and sold are posted, and registers for membership under predetermined seller rules. The seller outsources the purchase and sale of the product to the intermediary by specifying the product to be sold and the conditions for the product, and the buyer browses the website and specifies the product to be purchased under the specified buyer rules, and the broker The intermediary receives the total amount including the product price and the purchase fee from the credit card by the purchaser's purchase application commission, hands the seller's product to the buyer, and pays the buyer The company has taken measures to pay the seller the amount obtained by subtracting the sales commission from the fee.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
It is for buying and selling goods using the Internet homepage.

[0007] The outsourcing of sales procedures refers to the outsourcing of procedures for buying and selling commodities, more specifically, the outsourcing of merchandise to brokers by sellers and buyers. The Internet refers to a worldwide network in which computer networks around the world are interconnected.
In the present invention, the middleman and the seller, and the middleman and the buyer are connected by communication means and connected to the Internet.

[0008] In the present invention, the mediator establishes a homepage on the Internet, on which the photos and conditions of the products to be bought and sold are posted, provides a place for buying and selling, and operates the commission of the buying and selling procedure. The homepage is a product posting means for posting information including a photograph of a product to be sold and conditions including the conditions. The homepage has a monitor screen of a computer as a display surface, and is equivalent to a conventional store. Or it is equivalent to a magazine in the case of a flea market. Therefore, according to the present invention, although it is not easy to expand the store and the magazine, it is possible to increase the space for placing the product without limit according to the present invention.

[0009] The goods to be posted are provided by the seller.
The seller makes a contract with an intermediary under predetermined seller rules and registers for membership. Further, the seller designates the product desired to be sold and its conditions, and entrusts the brokerage procedure of the product to a middleman. The contract between the seller and the intermediary is a contract for outsourcing the purchase and sale procedure and is an indication of the intention to register for membership. Conditions such as price must be specified, but the specification of each condition does not necessarily have to be made at the time of contract.

[0010] The buyer browses the homepage, designates the product he / she wants to purchase under predetermined buyer rules, and applies for the purchase procedure to the intermediary. In this case, the buyer is required to clearly indicate the intention to purchase the product and the basis for payment. However, this does not necessarily mean that you have to show the basis for payment at the same time as your purchase intention.

The intermediary collects the total price including the commodity price and the purchase fee from the credit card in accordance with the purchaser's purchase procedure entrustment application. For this purpose, a computing means for calculating the amount to be received is provided in the computer used by the intermediary. On the other hand, the intermediary hands the seller's product to the buyer and pays the seller an amount obtained by subtracting the sale commission from the purchase price paid by the buyer. For this purpose, a computing means for calculating the amount to be paid is provided in a computer also used by the intermediary.

The present invention makes it possible to introduce displayed products almost infinitely by using a monitor screen of a computer as a store for displaying products and replacing the monitor screen by scrolling or other means. In addition, since the same monitor screen enables the contract of the seller and the buyer and the contract of the buyer with the seller, it is possible to exchange all the information on the monitor screen without any other contact. Sellers and buyers contact outsiders outside of the monitor screen to transport goods. The intermediary contacts the credit card company, but if this were to be done on the monitor screen, almost all of the activities required for buying and selling would be done on the homepage.
