Internal alpha foundation

A functional B2B supply platform for secondhand luxury goods.

B2B luxury supply, priced landed and fulfilled through the platform. Sellers upload supply materials first. Staff approves buyer-facing listings from photos and notes, then physically inspects paid orders only after the seller ships to the assigned station with a package verification code.
