American University of Nigeria (AUN) Safeshop.
ABSTRACT
Trust is a major factor in the internet business. This is not surprising as it is very convenient for cyber criminals to swindle unsuspecting customers. AUN SafeShop is an online store for the American University of Nigeria (AUN) Community. AUN SafeShop is a platform for AUN staff, students and faculty to buy and sell new or fairly used items among themselves. This platform is a lot safer for members of the AUN Community because it will be a near transparent system and it will be very difficult for people to be duped.
This is because sufficient information would be provided about buyers and sellers of SafeShop (with their permission). People would be able to sell items of their choice on SafeShop, they would also be able to buy items from other sellers. The only items that would be available for sale would be items provided by the AUN community. Another major function of SafeShop would be auctioning and bidding.
A seller can decide not to sell an item at a fixed price; he/she can decide to auction it. In this type of event, people can bid on the item(s) and it is therefore sold to the highest bidder. It is a fact that students get to a point in the semester where they need money, and are willing to sell items. AUN SafeShop provides the perfect avenue to such students so that they do not have to go from door to door looking for buyers.
Sellers can register on SafeShop and immediately start selling different items. This platform is also directed at bringing students together, especially because a lot of students would prefer to meet with the seller and see the item before paying for it. AUN SafeShop would eliminate the ambiguity of anonymous sellers because it would be running in a small community, thus making it trustworthy and safe.

INTRODUCTION
Through our stay at AUN, we noticed a particular trend among members of the AUN community, especially the students. We noticed that toward the end of the semester AUN students are in need of cash, and as such are constantly searching for who to buy either, used, fairly used or new items they were willing to do away with. The issue became they had to go from person to person looking for buyers.
This was not nearly efficient because students rarely ever found buyers through that method, while the buyers were there, getting to them was the difficult part. Sometimes students needed money to travel, or their meal plans finished and they needed cash. While it is possible for students to use their ID cards to swipe everywhere on the main campus, this is not the case when students go outside the main campus and thus need money that is not tied to their e-Wallet account. This problem amongst others, inspired our decision to take on the challenge and solve this problem.
