The functioning

The operation of the Occasion & Artisanal Universe is very simple. It allows you to buy items that people have previously listed for a fixed price.
UniversMini is the intermediary between the buyer and the seller. All transactions are therefore secure.

Progress of a transaction:

1 / A member sells one or more items (the seller)
He describes each item in the most precise way, adds photos and fixes its selling price.

2 / Another member buys one of these items (the buyer)
He adds the item to his basket, chooses his delivery address and pays his order.manfrom (by credit card, Paypal or with their account UniversMini)

3 / Decision of the seller
The seller has 3 days to accept or decline the sale. If he accepts, he must send the item quickly (within 7 days maximum). The buyer is then debited for the amount of the commanof. If he refuses or if he does not decide within the time limit, themanof is canceled. The buyer is then not debited.

4 / The buyer receives his communicationmande
He goes to the site to confirm receipt and rate the seller. If he does not do so within 15 days having followed the seller's acceptance, the confirmation will be done automatically. The seller receives the money from his sale minus our commission only then.

Example of a typical transaction:

1 / On Monday, a buyer found a tractor that interests him. The seller has set the price of his item at 20.00 euros + 7.00 euros for postage. The buyer will therefore validate his commande and pay the 27.00 euros. The seller is immediately alerted by email.

2 / Always on Monday, the seller accepts the communicationmanof. He can now view the buyer's contact information and send the item to him. At the same time the buyer is debited for his 27.00 euros.

3 / On Tuesday, the seller prepares the package and ships it to the buyer.

4 / On Thursday, the buyer receives his tractor. All he has to do is confirm receipt and then rate the seller.

5 / On Friday morning, the seller receives the money for his sale, i.e. 25.10 euros (20.00 euros (the price of his item) - 1.90 euros * (our commission) + 7.00 euros (shipping costs)).

The buyer will therefore have received his tractor in less than 4 days.
