Problem
Individuals selling used items often face high platform fees, complex shipping logistics, and risk of non‑payment, while buyers lack assurance that items will arrive as described.
Solution
Pulga is a mobile marketplace that lets sellers list items with a single photo and sell without commission. After a buyer pays, Pulga provides a Blue Express shipping label and coordinates pickup at designated drop‑off points, so sellers never handle the carrier directly. The buyer pays the shipping cost and a Pulga protection fee, and the payment to the seller is released only after the buyer confirms receipt or 48 hours after delivery confirmation, ensuring secure transactions. If a dispute arises, Pulga mediates and can issue refunds, protecting both parties. The app’s automated title, description, and price suggestions streamline listing, while bank‑direct payouts simplify seller earnings.
Target Audience
