Social Commerce Marketplace Website

I’m building a social-commerce marketplace whose core mission is to connect everyday buyers and sellers of physical goods. The platform should feel as familiar as a social network yet operate with the reliability of an e-commerce site.

Key functionality I need implemented:
• User reviews and ratings tied to each transaction
• A genuinely secure payment system (PCI-compliant gateway, fraud checks, escrow or split-pay support)
• Clear product categorization with search and filter tools that scale as inventory grows

Beyond those essentials, the site must be mobile-responsive, allow smooth seller onboarding, and include an admin area where I can moderate listings, payments, and user feedback. I’m open to the tech stack you’re most comfortable with—whether that’s a modern PHP framework, Node.js, Python/Django, or a headless setup—but page speed, clean code, and room for future feature drops are critical.

Deliverables will be:
1. Fully functional marketplace deployed on my hosting
2. Source code in a Git repo with commit history
3. Basic setup and user documentation

If you’ve launched similar buyer-seller platforms before and can walk me through your approach to security and scaling, let’s talk details and milestones.
