Problem
We created Grabio to address the issues so many consumers and we have experienced when using Craigslist –
§ Search is a nightmare
§ Lack of Transparency and safety - only two things that are not available for sale, anything else goes in the land of Craigslist.
§ Lack of real-time proximity information
§ Lack of an easy to use mobile platform
Solution
Grabio caters equally to both buyers and sellers of goods and services.
Grabio provides transparency and location-awareness to its classifieds through map/directions display and showing the distance to the listing in reference to user's location. It also offers its users a robust user reviews and rating system as its primary layer and mechanism of trust.
Grabio's Social Features, such as ability to see what FB friends are buying/selling, and Twitter style features that allow users to follow merchants/sellers and build followers, complement the user rating system.
Grabio allows buyers and sellers to pay and get paid via PayPal.
Grabio's **Wish List** feature allows users to list what they want, close or even kill the app, and let Grabio do the work for them and notify via a real-time push notification when the item(s) they wanted are nearby, at their location.
