Products are sold to the buyers branded as the market's products
The market buys the products direct from the sellers(/cross sellers?) and lists them on the market's shop as the market's products (with seller names)
Markets buys products before buyer sale tracking their own inventory
The market creates products linked directly to 1 or more seller(/cross sellers?) products, aggregating the seller's inventory as its own.
On an order, portions of the order quantity are allocated (appropriately) to sellers
EB NOTE - the default assumption is that Sellers create products and list them in one or more markets. The Market Manager has the ability to do this on behalf of Sellers, and some do - but the preference is usually seller-driven. When markets aggregate, they don't make the sellers' inventory their own - they are simply delivering. Markets only make the inventory their own when they but and re-sell under a market or other collective brand.
Possibly listing individual seller's products in addition to the "market's products" with market approval
EB NOTE:not quite sure what this means? Could it be from discussion re: sellers being able to cross sell on an individual basis - as opposed to the current cross-sell function which is market-to-market and doesn't isolate markets? We would like to enable markets to select individual sellers, rather than all sellers in another market, for cross selling.
Products are listed/sold to the buyers from the individual sellers. Delivered from the seller to the market. Then picked up at the market or delivered to the buyer from the market.
EB Note: Not sure this is different from Market aggregating from Sellers. Need to flesh out?
Some sellers may choose to deliver direct to the buyer
