The document proposes developing a website similar to Alibaba.com. It would allow buyers and sellers to register, login, post products for sale, search for products, and make purchases in escrow. The website would be developed using a central database and server application. Key features for buyers are searching, viewing products, shopping carts, and purchases. For sellers, features include posting products and company details, managing inventory, and viewing buyer requests. An admin can manage user accounts, categories, products, orders, and payments.
