Title: I have been toying with the idea of an open marketplace, input wanted Post by: ByronP on February 25, 2014, 03:40:53 PM I have been toying with the idea of an open marketplace that uses alts as the payment method. Like ebay but without paypal and alts instead. What are your thoughts???

It will take a lot of work. Not to get the website up and running but to get it to a stage where you are above the competition. That said, it is something our community needs and when the right marketplace comes along we will support it.

If you can even get close, that's great. Any effort is good, there really isn't an ebay-like crypto site out there anymore.

The funds for any purchase must be available in the users account before bidding and after the auction closes the amounts go into escrow until both parties agree or it is escalated for remediation. That's my plan on that so far... The actual site implementation is fairly straightforward. Any other suggestions/points/questions? |
