Scalable Gaming Marketplace Website

I need a full-featured gaming marketplace built from the ground up, offering a seamless buying and selling experience for Pokémon GO and Roblox accounts and items on day one. The site must present a clean, Classic aesthetic—think straightforward layouts, readable typography, and subtle gaming touches rather than neon overload—while still feeling modern and fully responsive on mobile, tablet, and desktop. For launch, three pillars are non-negotiable: • Buyer / Seller account creation with profile dashboards, item listings, and inventory management • Escrow-style payments handled through Stripe’s API, keeping funds secure until both parties confirm delivery • Real-time chat between users plus a post-transaction review system to build trust and reputation Around those core flows, the platform needs: • A seller withdrawal system that releases cleared Stripe funds to their chosen payout method • An on-site notification layer so users never miss order updates, chat messages, or Stripe status changes • A role-based admin panel where I can approve listings, resolve disputes, manage reviews, and view aggregate sales data Architecture has to be modular so I can slot in additional game categories later with minimal refactoring. Clean REST (or GraphQL) endpoints, a component-based front end (React, Vue, or similar), and a well-structured database will help futureproof the project. Deliverables: 1. Production-ready source code in a private repo 2. Deployed site on my VPS or preferred cloud host 3. Brief technical documentation covering setup, key modules, and how to add a new game category 4. Post-launch support window for bug fixes and minor tweaks Acceptance will be based on: • Smooth end-to-end transaction flow validated with Stripe test cards • Mobile and desktop UI parity for the main pages (home, listing, cart/checkout, profile) • Admin actions (suspend listing, refund, manual escrow release) working without console errors • Page load times under 2 s on a standard 4G connection for the core routes If you have solid experience building marketplaces, secure payment integrations, and scalable web apps, this should be a straightforward but exciting project. I’m ready to move quickly once I see a clear plan and timeline.
