Sellers should compete to give you a better deal—not to buy your attention. I’m Goksenin, founder of Baqqla. I built it around one question: what if the money spent winning a click could instead help win a customer with a better offer? That’s the “ad tax” I want to challenge. Baqqla turns the auction around. You paste a phone or laptop listing. That price becomes the ceiling. Participating sellers can offer only below it. Instead of bidding more for visibility, sellers compete to charge you less. The goal isn’t to squeeze sellers. It’s to give them a direct shot at a buyer already looking for what they sell. Buyers get competing offers. Sellers choose a price that works for them. Requests are free, with no obligation to buy. Baqqla charges sellers a flat 5% only on a completed sale. We’re starting with phones and laptops in California. The ambition is simple: a marketplace where a better deal—not a bigger ad budget—wins the order. What would you need to see before trusting an offer from a seller you haven’t bought from before?
