==Expanded StockX article==
Hello! I'm Alex, an employee of [[StockX]], here to help with proposing changes to company-related articles. I've read through the conflict of interest guidelines, so you'll only see me post to "Talk" pages rather than make edits myself. Right now the StockX article is very short and gives only a minimal description of the company's history and operations. The page mentions little more than the headquarters location, founders, product focus, Series C funding, and authentication process.

I've worked to fill in the gaps by drafting some text for editors to review and update the page. I've tried to be as matter of fact as possible, using only reputable newspapers and other news journal sources. The drafted text briefly describes the company's founding, leadership, operations locations, important milestones, and collaborations with notable people, and the funding subsection now focuses on more than just Series C. Please review the following:

== Business model ==

{{Reply to|Comatmebro}} Huge thanks for your help above. Could you possibly help with this request as well? I propose replacing the current ''Reputation'' section, which has just two sentences and mentions the authentication process, with a section describing the business model more generally, including the authentication process. I've proposed some text below, which again is matter of fact and based on reputable newspapers and journal sources. The drafted text briefly describes the auction and variable pricing framework, authentication process, percentage of International business, and initial product offering. Please review the following:

{{Collapse top|Proposed ''Business model'' section (to replace the current ''Reputation'' section)}}
{{fake heading|sub=2|Business model}}
StockX serves as an [[online marketplace]], facilitating [[online auction|auctions]] between sellers and buyers,<ref name="Bloomberg" /> then collecting transaction and payment fees. Sellers send purchased items to StockX facilities for inspection and verification, then authenticated products are shipped to buyers.<ref name="Griffith" /> StockX features a "[[stock market]]-like" [[variable pricing]] framework and discloses price histories for specific items. StockX is most known for [[sneakers]] and streetwear, but also carries other clothing and accessories such as handbags and watches.<ref name="Gallagher" /><ref name="Griffith" /> StockX surpassed [[eBay]] in total sneaker transactions in 2017.<ref name="Gebel" /> Counterfeit items are returned to sellers, and buyers are refunded.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Alvarez |first1=Edgar |title=The best apps for buying sneakers |url=https://www.engadget.com/2019/04/10/best-apps-buying-sneakers-shoes-stockx-goat-sneakercon-ebay/ |website=Engadget |accessdate=April 24, 2019 |date=April 10, 2019}}</ref>

StockX charges a 3 percent processing fee for all resellers, and a 9.5 percent transaction fee for new users, which decreases with experience.<ref name="Seppala" /> Prior to the company's expansion into Europe, StockX only advertised in the United States and accepted [[United States dollar|U.S dollars]].<ref name="TC" /> Fifteen percent of the company's buyers were international, as of September 2018.<ref name="TC" />

In January 2019, StockX partnered with celebrity jeweler and influencer Ben Baller to sell 800 pairs of black and red [[Slide (footwear)|slides]] directly to the public, marking the company's first "initial product offering" ("I.P.O.").<ref name=Griffith/><ref name="Evans">{{cite journal |last1=Evans |first1=Jonathan |title=Resale Juggernaut StockX Is Launching Its Own Slides Today |journal=[[Esquire (magazine)|Esquire]] |date=January 22, 2019 |url=https://www.esquire.com/style/mens-fashion/a25990405/stockx-ben-baller-straye-sandals-slides/ |accessdate=April 24, 2019}}</ref> The shoes were printed with the phrase "Ben Baller did the chain", a lyric from [[ASAP Ferg]]'s song "[[Plain Jane (song)|Plain Jane]]" (2017).<ref name="White" />

The preview above shows "cite warnings" but that's because the sources are already defined in the live article and not above. If you copy over the markup into the current ''Reputation'' section (and change the section title), then preview the page, you'll see all the references display properly.

== Infobox and introduction ==

Hello again! I am still waiting for an editor to review the above request, but in the meantime, I thought I'd share my final request for the article, which is to update the infobox and introduction. The infobox proposed below displays key (chief-level) personnel, uses the predecessor field, and offers an employee count. The introduction proposed below provides more of an operational snapshot and also mentions key personnel, as opposed to commentary about how the marketplace works and a seemingly arbitrary sentence about Series C funding. I should also point out, the last sentence of the current introduction is incomplete.

I'm hoping [[User:Comatmebro]] might be able to review this as well as the above request? Please see the proposed infobox and introduction below.

:: [[User:Comatmebro]], thanks for helping with the infobox and business model section. In my business model request above, I asked to have the content ''replace'' the "Reputation" section, which is now redundant because the authentication process is already described. Also, immediately above I proposed introduction text to accompany the infobox, based on the recent article updates. Are you willing to remove the reputation section and make this the new introduction?

:{{reply to|Comatmebro}} Hello again.Hope this finds you healthy. Since you have been helpful, would you mind updating the history and operations section to include that in Nov. 2019, StockX announced John Kaelle as the company's first-ever CFO and we opened a 6th authentication center in Atlanta; in Dec. 2019, the company appointed Terra Carmichael as StockX’s first-ever CCO and in Feb. 2020, the company announced the addition of Vishnu Patankar as CTO.

{{reply to|Escape Orbit}} I saw you made a couple helpful edits to the article. Thanks! I wonder, would you mind adding [[:File:Stockx logo.png]] to the infobox? Seems uncontroversial, but I'd rather not edit the page directly given my conflict of interest. Thanks!

:{{reply to|Comatmebro}} Hello again. Sorry, I tried to get another editor to help since you've assisted several times already, but would you mind adding the logo to the infobox? Thanks again! [[User:AS at StockX|AS at StockX]] ([[User talk:AS at StockX|talk]]) 21:10, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

:::{{reply to|Comatmebro}} Sure, not a problem. {{reply to|JTtheOG}} I'm not sure who else to ask, but I see you added some categories to this article a few months ago. Might you be able to add [[:File:Stockx logo.png]] to the infobox on my behalf? I'd rather not update the page myself because of my conflict of interest. Thanks!

:{{reply to|Comatmebro}} Hi there. Do you mind removing Abhijeet Bhatia as a founder from the StockX Wikipedia page? He is not a founder of StockX, nor is he an employee. Thanks! [[User:AS at StockX|AS at StockX]] ([[User talk:AS at StockX|talk]]) 23:49, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

:{{reply to|Comatmebro}} Hi again - happy Friday! Thanks for making the requested edit. On the StockX Wikipedia page, under key people, can you please add John Kaelle as CFO, Terra Carmichael as CCO, Vishnu Patankar as CTO, and Leander LeSure as CPO? Thank you!
