What
is eMapia?
eMapia is
a location based marketplace. People can browse through the country
they live in to find businesses/people who added items for sale.
Using Google Maps, you can check what is available for sale in areas
near you!
What
does it sell?
eMapia
doesn’t sell anything, it is people who sell different things
through eMapia by pointing their location on the map and then adding
their items to allow people see what is available for sale.
What
is the difference between eMapia and marketplaces like eBay and
others?
The main
difference is the user experience. In eMapia, you can search for
products using the map based on the location. You can then search for
people selling specific items within a geographical location you
choose.
The other
difference is that eMapia is not an auction based marketplace. People
add items and their prices and wait for others to approach them by
email, phone or private messages.
How
does eMapia work?
eMapia
connects buyers with sellers in a new & innovative way. Using
Google Maps, you zoom to a location where you wish to see what is
available for sale. The list will be updated automatically as you
zoom in and out. The list of items will be available on your left
side to see what each location is selling.
When you
click on an item, a message will appear that displays all necessary
information regarding the item. You will be able to get the detail
contact information of the seller and any other information you wish
to know about.

bidding required to buy items?
At this

are added with a fix price set by the sellers, unless the seller
announces that he is willing to negotiate for a deal.
