InstantFinder.com is a next-generation global online marketplace for buyers, sellers and advertisers. As a marketplace, it serves needs beyond eBay and Amazon. As an advertising site, it goes beyond eBay classifieds, Alibaba, Craigslist, or other websites.

Goods or services. With our integrated, multi-currency shopping cart, InstantFinder enables you to buy and sell products, and exchange payment for your transaction, directly on the site. However, mankind cannot live by shopping cart alone. For things that cannot be bought or sold through a shopping cart, e.g., services, buyers and sellers can advertise on InstantFinder to find each other.

All categories. You can buy or sell anything on InstantFinder, except for illegal (including counterfeit) or socially unacceptable items (which we work diligently to exclude, and commit to removing if they make their way on to InstantFinder.)

As a buyer, whether you are looking for fashion wear, baby clothes, automotive parts, restaurant gear, dental equipment, solar systems, or programming services, you can find them on InstantFinder. We support the full spectrum of needs – from consumers to businesses, and from everyday needs to exotic quests. If you want something you don’t see, just place a want ad. All basic ads and stores are free.

As a seller, whether you sell consumer products, equipment for businesses, or provide services such as rental, legal, transportation, healthcare, or others, you can sell or advertise your offering on InstantFinder.

All major currencies. Local across town, or across the globe, buyers can buy, and sellers can receive payment, in the currency of their choice. We support seventeen currencies through Paypal, which is rapidly becoming the world’s most universal payment system, with transparent currency exchange.

Fast or economical shipping. As a buyer, you can choose economical or fast shipping, locally or globally. As a seller, you can charge for shipping separately, or offer free shipping.

Integrated marketing. All sellers know this: the biggest obstacle to sales and growth is getting the word out. At InstantFinder, we do several things to help generate awareness and demand for your products and services. On your own, these things would be difficult and expensive.

  • Search engines. We list your product on product search engines, so that you are easily found. We optimize our pages for high visibility in natural search.
  • Social marketing. As so many buyers and sellers hang out on social networks such as Facebook (500+ million users), we present your product on our as well as your pages on these social networks. From these pages, word of your products, quality, prices, or service, can spread quickly. We also make InstantFinder visible on blogs, wikis, and other community sites. To be helpful to buyers and sellers, we are careful to provide useful information, not chatter or hype. This makes InstantFinder a trusted marketplace.
  • Filtered E-mail and SMS notifications. We send filtered notifications to our registered buyers on items (e.g., new listings, special discounts) in areas they express interest in.
Merchandising and display. A good store offers the right products, and the right combinations of products, in one place. It makes them easily accessible. And it makes the overall shopping experience appealing. On InstantFinder, we work to deliver each of these benefits. Sellers can upload products in minutes. They can enhance their catalog with new products easily as demand evolves. Buyers can search and find easily.

Brand-building. Buyers remember brands. Sellers want their brand to stand out. Sellers can create and enhance their brand with their logo, and their choice of text fonts and backgrounds. They can specify their terms of use, highlight unique capabilities, and include special offers (e.g., free shipping, discounts, satisfaction guarantee, etc.)

Low cost. InstantFinder’s efficiency delivers the lowest markup between seller and buyer.

Our basic stores are free. They are richer in capabilities than eBay, Amazon and other first-generation online marketplaces. Our transaction fees are lower than eBay and Amazon.

Our basic ads are also free. They are richer in capabilities than Craigslist, eBay Classifieds, etc.

Our premium ads include all the next-generation capabilities of our free ads, and bring you more visibility. They too are the least expensive in the business. And with fixed, low advertising costs, you do not have to worry about unpredictable advertising expenses or click fraud.

For buyers, this means better prices. For sellers, it means you can be competitive and profitable at the same time.

Peace of mind. Buyers want the best product, the best choice, at the best price, in the needed timeframe. They do not want broken promises.

Sellers want happy, repeat customers, and payments on time.

We aim to make buyers and sellers equally happy.

  • Easy window-shopping. To help buyers shop more easily, we support YouTube! videos for richer viewing. Buyers can do this window-shopping at their leisure. With relaxed and convenient window-shopping, buyers can decide more easily and quickly.
  • Easy decision-making. Sometimes, before deciding, buyers have questions. Or, they feel more comfortable if they know who they are buying from. InstantFinder provides integrated video chat for buyers to speak with sellers live, and to allow sellers to showcase their products further. It’s like having the store owner or a highly knowledgeable salesperson at a store answer your questions, or buying from someone you know.
  • Immediate payment. Our payment system pays seller immediately as buyer makes payment, so that there is no delay in shipment. Our service fee is deducted automatically from the proceeds forwarded to seller. Paypal fees are also similarly deducted by Paypal.

Ease of use. Our motto for InstantFinder is: Make it simple, then simplify further. All our features are extremely simple-to-use. (If you see a way to simplify something, let us know.)

  • Bulk upload. Using InstantFinder’s bulk upload feature, sellers can import entire stores, with hundreds of items, from eBay, Amazon, or other marketplaces, in minutes.
  • New listings and changes. Seller can list new products, upload photos, videos and slideshows, change prices, terms, etc., with a few keystrokes.
  • Easy checkout. Whether you buy one item or many, from one store or several, our checkout process is simple.
  • Up-to-date information on your transaction. InstantFinder provides updates to buyer and seller automatically at each step of the way – order, payment, shipment, delivery, acceptance, and release of payment to seller.

Summary. Buying, selling, and advertising online – locally or globally, for consumers and businesses – should be simple, easy, safe, and economical. This is our mission. We do this in several ways:

  • The reach of our integrated marketing on search engines and social networks brings buyers and sellers together more easily.
  • Our stores are easy to set up. Our ads are easy to place. And you can build your brand.
  • Our easy window-shopping and dialog between buyer and seller (including video chat) simplifies buying decisions.
  • Buyers get more for their money; sellers can sell more economically.
Your feedback. At InstantFinder, we want to expand and accelerate ecommerce with a new generation of capabilities. We are not replacing first-generation sites, which have served us all well. We aim to supplement them.

We welcome your feedback where we can do better. We want to improve every day.

And if you like what you see, please spread the word.
