MarketPlaceTown - offers

Offers are being prepared.

MarketPlaceTown offers will eventually help buyers and sellers negotiate safely around local listings. For Release 6B, this page is a friendly public preview only. Offer submission, counter offers, acceptance, withdrawal, notifications, checkout, orders, and delivery remain closed until the full offer workflow is built and tested.

Offer preview only.

This page keeps offer links safe and understandable while the negotiation workflow is still closed. It does not write to the database, expose private offer threads, submit proposals, accept terms, send notifications, start conversations, create orders, or launch commerce.

This route is aligned with the approved public browse, listing detail, seller profile, saved listings, messages, auctions, My Marketplace, admin listing, admin media, admin seller, storefront, category, tag, and dashboard routes.

Offer status

Offer inboxes will open in a later release

The private offer inbox is intentionally not displayed yet. The action workflow must be built separately with CSRF protection, authorization, seller-manager checks, rate limits, moderation rules, notification rules, accepted-offer safeguards, and live tests before users can submit or respond to offers.

Offers will require a TownConnect account. You can browse the controlled marketplace preview now. Offer submission, counter-offers, accepted-offer decisions, notifications, checkout, and orders will open only after the future negotiation workflow is built and approved.

Offer readiness

Negotiation tools remain protected
