Background:
Luis began building PCs as a hobby in 2005, driven by a love for custom water-cooled setups. After years as an HP T-300 press operator, he turned his passion into a full-time career in 2021. Initially, he sold on eBay and Amazon but faced some major hurdles.
Challenges:
PC Lab faced several challenges with traditional online marketplaces:
- High scam rates and poor return policies.
- Lack of support for small sellers.
- Minimal gaming industry expertise.
"Jawa.gg has been a game-changer for PC Lab. The platform's interface, supportive community, high traffic sales and excellent customer service have made it the ideal place for us to grow our business. Moving our entire operation to Jawa.gg was the best decision we've made, and we're excited about the future."
