10 reasons I buy from Silkfair

Silkfair is an online platform, or better said an online marketplace that targets both online buyers and sellers in focused interests.

Similar to ebay or partly etsy, and I say partly because it doesn't focus solely on handmade, Silkfair has plenty of categories to choose from or list in and as seen in the tagline, they make buying and selling fun and easy.

Building its unique brand around the community, Silkfair is the only marketplace where sellers can effectively showcase products without feeling like being at a crowded and cluttered flea market. It provides a space for you to customize and showcase your products. While bringing in the latest in technology to help you sell, it enables you to engage and interact directly with customers.

1. Browsing around like a nutcase is a bad habit. And it happened to me plenty of times in several different place. With Silkfair, I am given the ability to quickly browse and run a colour search according to my needs and moods. This turns bad habits into pleasures. And you see, I'm all for guilty pleasures.

2. The advanced search option is outstanding. I get to choose and filter my searches with several options (by tag, category, location, material, store and even by price) so that I can get only the results I'm looking for right here, right now.

3. Each item I am interested in provides a detailed view with important information (like price, buy now button) only by hovering. No clicks attached. I love when I don't have to go through tens of clicks to get what I want.

4. What you see is what you get. With video that, when used, loads really quickly, the item presentation gets interactive. I see more than pretty pictures.

5. I love to chat and Silkfair's in store minichats allow me to chit-chat with sellers I buy from, to ask questions, to check about custom orders, to share a glass of wine or a cup of coffee, even if we're miles away. Interactivity rocks!

6. I even get to make further appointments and hang-out in the big chatrooms if I want to.

7. Did I mention about the one-step cart checkout? No matter if I buy from one or seven different sellers, the system gathers everything in one page. No stress, no worries, no headaches.

8. I get to have my own blog on their platform. So I can easily write down notes or ask for certain items. This way, vendors can find me, I don't have to look for them everytime.

9. I can add friends and favorites from the site, or share pages and products with my own family and friends outside Silkfair in an instant.

10. The customer support rocks! I've been doing my shopping online for a couple of years and I have never received quicker and more detailed reply from anywhere else. Of what I saw, the admin makes time to reply in forums with personal messages not just some general yadda-yadda. This should say something.

I recommend this marketplace because I'm a fan. I discover something new in terms of features all the time and it makes my online shopping experience easy and cool. Sellers are fun and friendly, I have over 100 000 items to choose from, support is always there when I need it. Silkfair has never ceased to amaze me so far.
