Hello,

Just wondering if anyone would use an ebay alternitive I have been thinking about for a long time. Features:

  • 2% selling and 2% buying fees.
  • Cryptocurrency payment through a linked Coinbase account (so Bitcoin, LTC, and Ethereum).
  • Website holds payment until tracking number indicates package has been delivered, and a 72 hour has passed for the buyer to indicate damaged/incorrect item.
  • If the seller is fradulent, or an item is damaged in shipping the website would hold the payment until the dispute is settled.
  • (I have not quite figured this out yet) The current ebay feedback system is broken, sellers cannot leave negative feedback on buyers, buyers can manipulate sellers with threats of negative feedback (one negative feedback drops your sales significantly, especially for newer sellers). This website's feedback system would allow people to leave non-five star reviews, and not have it permenatly damage someone's ability to sell.
  • (Have not figured this out either) An affiliated forums-like system for buying and selling virtural items, with no fees. Nobody is garunteed to get the product or the money, but it still gives people the chance to buy/sell virtural items.

Just wondering if these features would be exciting to anyone, buyers or sellers. Feedback appreciated :).

Regards,

I sell and buy on ebay. The reason that ebay does not work for me as well as this is that:
(A): Feedback system on ebay is broken - one negative rating would possibly up to halve my sales. People don't want to buy from someone with 98% positive feedback.
(B): Ebay fees are 10%, plus paypal 3%+ fee. On a $1000 sale, I would only get back $870? How is this fare... Also, ebay taxes shipping :eek:

Regards,
West
