If you were a developer/seller, what would make you join a new marketplace website?
I’m researching how new marketplaces can attract their first sellers/merchants before official launch.
If you already sell code, UI kits, templates, plugins, or digital assets — or you plan to — what would actually convince you to list on a brand new site with few users at the start?
For example:
lower fees / 0% commission for early sellers?
better protection / anti-theft for your files?
- faster payout?
exclusive “founding seller” badge?
done-for-you listing help?
traffic/promotion promise?
- something else?
Also, what’s the biggest reason you would avoid a new marketplace?
I’m not promoting anything yet (site not launched), just trying to understand seller mindset so the platform can be built right.
Appreciate any honest thoughts.
