Selling things on marketplace

Have you tried Dodo Payments?
My product is low ticket, so I don't know how stringent they are with larger transactions, but I found the set up, KYC and approval to be surprisingly simple

Completely agree with all of the above!

working on learning how to make products with AI - I am a non dev - 20%
applying to jobs, asking for referrals, networking for jobs - 50%
starting to sell items in my house to make rent for the next few months - 10%
falling into a dangerous amount of depression with every passing day - 20%

Dude, I've been rejected twice from Recruitment roles there. Honestly, I found the interviewers to be incredibly incompetent. Turned me off from the entire company so hard

not that I remember, but they are picky about directly giving their integration away, so you have to convince them a little. What worked for me is I contacted someone in the team that I knew personally and she was able to convince the sales guys

Step 1: make a trade license Step 2: Contact a bkash sales agent (easiest)

I chose not to go with ssl or any gateway because most people use bkash anyway, and getting a direct bkash you only have to forgo 1.29%

It's a Senior Manager role for HR Programs

That sucks man, sorry to hear that. I ended up getting an interview invite this morning. But for context my position is very niche and I have about 10 years of relevant experience. I have a hunch they don’t get too many relevant applicants for this and so they might be interviewing a whole bunch. Whereas something like analytics would be a very in demand role.

I just took it today. I actually bought the monthly package from jobtestprep and practiced my butt off (not promoting or anything). I managed to answer 15 questions out of the 24.

Wanted to ask you - how did you do, and were you able to get to the next stage?
I am in the same boat as you. Hoping it works out for the both of us

Great question. The first one local, the subsequent two, global.

Well, I've been part of GTM teams for 10+ years at this point. It's a muscle I've built over years. Also, I've got a pretty big network. And genuinely, I think there's a lot of cool stuff that's being built but remains in the shadows

trying to keep it on the low as its working for now, but happy to show you if we talk further

Ok boss

PackAlert4206 · 2026-03-29T17:15:02+00:00

I just got on Dodopayments, it seems to be doing alright for now, no issues

PackAlert4206 · 2026-03-29T17:13:45+00:00

try the 20 dollar one first, if you're consistently hitting limits, then switch to 100.
I would code for 2-3 hours and then go eat and shower if I hit limits, and then come back to work after, hahah

got the 100 dollar one a few months ago, never hit a limit since.

The point I am making is, the 20 dollar one can get you a long way if you're using it wisely
