SCENARIO

Textbooks R Us is a small business that was set up 20 years ago to facilitate the physical sale of second-hand textbooks for University students. They would now like to change their business model to an e-business model where they only sell their books online. Its business will run entirely on the Internet and students will be able to sell and purchase books via their website. This will allow the business to increase their market as they will not be restricted to selling books at the one University campus. Textbooks R Us has tasked your team to come up with the requirements for their new system.

Sellers must have an account with Textbooks R Us to sell any books via their website. To create an account, sellers must register and provide various details when setting up their account. These details include their physical address, postal address, name, telephone number, a current email address and banking details for the receipt of money after their books have been sold.

Buyers must also open an account if they wish to purchase a textbook, however they can search for books on the website without having an account. To create an account, buyers must register and provide various details when setting up their account. These details include their physical address, postal address, name, telephone number, a current email address and credit card details. Buyers can purchase as many books as desired in the same transaction or through separate transactions. Books can be purchased via credit card or PayPal.

A seller can list books on the system through completing an online form. The details which must be provided on the form include information on the book to be sold such as: its category, title, author, year of publication, condition and the asking price. An option to upload a photo of the books is also available for buyers to see the condition of the book. A seller may list as many books as desired. A seller may also remove books for sale if they wish or amend the sale price.

The system will maintain a list of all books for buyers to use a search engine to search for books of interest by title, author, category, and keyword.

The system will provide secure access for all users and information is to be maintained on secure servers. Sensitive financial information and private user details are not to be disclosed to other users of the system.

When a purchase is made, Textbooks R Us will send an e-mail notice and/or a text message to the seller of the book that was chosen as well as payment information. The seller will have the option of choosing which method of notification they prefer when setting up their account, i.e. via email and/or via text message to their mobile phone. The system will also mark the book as sold and maintain an open order status until it receives notice that the book has been shipped by the seller.

Once the seller has received the notification that the book has been sold, they must notify the buyer via their chosen notification method (email and/or text message) within 48 hours that the purchase has been accepted and they must ship the order within 48 hours of sending the notification to the buyer. The seller will then send a notification to the buyer (again via their preferred method) and to Textbooks R Us when the shipment is made.

Upon receiving notice that the shipment has been made,Textbooks R Us will change the status of the book order to a shipped status. Buyers will have a 30-day period to receive a refund from Textbooks R Us if the book does not arrive, or to return the book if it does not meet the advertised criteria. Once this 30-day period has lapsed, i.e. the book has been in a shipped status for 30 days, the money received for the book will be transferred to the seller’s nominated account by Textbooks R Us and the book’s order status will be changed to sold.

After receiving an ordered book, buyers will have the option of entering a rating for the seller to indicate a measure on several factors regarding their transaction with the seller. Some sellers have been very active using the current business model and this feature will provide them with an important indicator to other potential buyers.
