Collectiv
Freelance
E-Commerce App
Summary
Collectiv is a freelance app design crafting refined digital experiences inspired by high-end fashion, sneaker culture, and sought-after collectibles.
Problem
Many commerce apps struggle to convert users because they either lack a complete product offering, fail to establish trust, or do not meet the expectations of high-end consumers. Incomplete inventories frustrate users, low credibility signals reduce confidence in purchasing, and poor design undermines the perception of quality—ultimately causing users to abandon the platform. Having to use multiple apps to meet their needs.
User Complaints:
🚫 Platform Trust & Safety
Users often describe the platform as filled with scams, ghost listings, and unresponsive users — fake or abandoned posts that waste time. Many buyers/sellers report getting low-ball offers, fake payment requests, or attempts to communicate off-platform.
💤 Flaky Buyer/Seller Engagement
A big gripe is uninvolved buyers/sellers — messages ignored, meetups canceled, listings listed forever with no updates — leading to wasted time and frustration.
🤝 Problems with Authenticity & Returns
Sneaker buyers/sellers specifically complain about the authentication process being inconsistent or unreliable — sometimes authentic or correct items fail checks, or fakes pass.
🛑 Buyer/Seller Protection Imbalance
Many users feel policies favor buyers, especially in disputes, with sellers losing money or items even when they believe they provided proof.
Discovery
Discovery process to provide a solid foundation for the design and development phases, guiding decisions with user-centric insights
This discovery process focused on a wide range of competitors including: Alias, Ebay, Stock X, GOAT, Amazon, Craiglist, Offer Up, Five Miles, Poshmark, and Whatnot. All these competitors are great for users to either buy or sell, but they all lack traits for trading, trust, auctions, and or multiple listing configurations. Collectiv app is trying to include everything to be a true one-stop shop app.
