Who can list

Anyone with a tracked garment can resell or swap it. Artisans and designers get a full service profile with pricing, a portfolio, and order tracking.

Listing volumes, transactions, disputes and M-Pesa reconciliation are all monitored from the stakeholder dashboard's Marketplace Oversight module — so a marketplace that handles real money is supervised rather than left to run itself.
