Tradewell Market is an online platform that connects artisan sellers with niche buyers who value craftsmanship and unique products. The platform focuses on small-batch, limited-edition items, with a business model that introduces unique terms and rules governing transactions.
Products on Tradewell Market are sold in limited quantities known as Craftbatches. Each Craftbatch has a unique identifier, and once it’s sold out, it’s gone forever. Sellers often announce upcoming Craftbatches in advance, creating anticipation among buyers.
Buyers can reserve items before a Craftbatch goes live through Vault Reservations. This is a special privilege awarded to repeat buyers or those who have earned enough TrustPoints.
Tradewell Market features a loyalty system where buyers earn TrustPoints through purchases, reviews, and referrals. TrustPoints can be redeemed for early access to Craftbatches, discounts, or even customization options.
Some Craftbatches offer Custom Orders, allowing buyers to request modifications to items (e.g., a different color, size, or material). Custom Orders require seller approval and may have longer lead times.
Given the unique nature of the products, Tradewell Market tracks the Chain of Custody to ensure authenticity and provenance. This includes documentation of who crafted the item, who sold it, and all previous owners if the item is resold.
Tradewell Market includes a secondary market, the Echo Market, where buyers can resell their items. The original seller can receive a small commission from resales if it’s within a specified timeframe.
Capsule Drops are periodic events where multiple Craftbatches from different sellers are released simultaneously. These events often have a theme (e.g., "Winter Wonders") and generate significant buzz within the community.
Once a Craftbatch is sold out, it cannot be reproduced by the same seller for at least one year. This rule keeps the market fresh and ensures that items remain special.
If an item is customized, the changes must be documented in the Chain of Custody to maintain transparency for future resales.
Vault Reservations are limited and can only be held for 48 hours before the Craftbatch goes live. If not claimed, the spot is forfeited, and the next buyer in line gets the opportunity.
Payments on Tradewell Market are held in escrow until the buyer confirms receipt of the item. This system fosters trust between buyers and sellers, particularly for high-value transactions.
Welcome to Tradewell Market, where each product tells a story and every purchase supports the artistry of independent creators. Join our community and experience the thrill of discovering truly unique items.
