Campus Marketplace is a mobile application designed to provide students, faculty, and staff within a university campus with a structured and secure platform to buy, sell, and exchange goods such as textbooks, electronics, and services. The platform eliminates reliance on inefficient social media groups and word-of-mouth transactions by offering a centralized and trusted marketplace.

- Secure Communication: In-app chat to protect user privacy and streamline transactions.
- User Authentication: Secure login via email-password or institutional single sign-on.
- Trust & Safety: User rating and review system to build credibility and mitigate fraud.
- Optimized Performance: Efficient image handling, smooth browsing, and minimal load times.

- Create Listings – Post items with images, descriptions, and pricing details.
- Browse Marketplace – Search and filter listings by category.
Old items that are no longer in use can be sold to anyone in need. Users can list products such as laptops, textbooks, or other essentials with images, specifications, and pricing details, allowing interested buyers to connect and make a purchase.
A faculty member posts an old textbook for sale or exchange. Other users can search for specific titles and connect with the seller.
