Locate the seller's stall by simply clicking the "Browse Market" tab, and then look through the list of stalls to find the seller you are interested in. The sellers are grouped by product/service-type. Click the stall owner's website name or the stall owner's name as listed on fie.nipa.

On the other hand, if you click on the stall owner's name, you will remain inside the fie.nipa Market.
