There are many success models of redistribution. EBay, Amazon, Gumtree and Craigslist are all examples, especially for P2P transactions that connects consumer to consumer, being able to sell or buy, rent or exchange. Collaborative consumption on P2P platforms works with reputation mechanisms that can build trust among users. To sell a product it may be charged a membership fee to the platform; if the product is sold, a fee will be charged on the final value. These platforms that have no physical inventory and in which users own their clothing have great potential for scalability with exponential growth. They can be implemented anywhere in the world, at reduced cost for deployment. The great investment is made in technology, insurance and partnership with companies providing services such as washing, arrangements, delivery and others.

The centralized C2C e-commerce model appeared in the early days of the Internet. Online marketplace applications, including eBay Company (1995) and Craigslist Company (1995), provide an online marketplace or e-market for trading between buyers and sellers. Sellers post items to the e-market, while buyers seek items from the e-market and receive items from the sellers through indirect transactions. In this model, the centralized e-market servers, as shown in Figure 6 play a key role in connecting buyers and sellers. These servers provide a mediated mechanism for performing transactions to guarantee quality control, i.e. after a buyer and a seller agree on trading an item, the buyer transfers money to the mediating company; the seller sends the item to the buyer; and the seller receives money from the company if there is no complaint from the buyer. This model is referred to as the centralized model because of the dependence on centralized servers. The model is similar to the centralized P2P model.
An investigation at the intersection of the sharing economy and supply chain management: a strategic perspective
Published in International Journal of Logistics Research and Applications, 2022
Specific to SCM, there are SE startups in other segments of supply chains beyond logistics in areas such as cloud manufacturing (e.g. 3D Hubs), in which manufacturing resources and capabilities are made available via online exchanges (Hamalainen and Karjalainen 2017; Adamson et al. 2017). Additionally, some incumbent firms have sought to engage in the SE, such as Caterpillar, which launched a rental platform called Yard Club. Consistent with the reframing of existing online business such as Craigslist and eBay as sharing economy firms, procurement marketplaces, and online auction firms such as SAP Ariba can be reclassified.
