I can't seem to find a way to register a new account. Do I need to upload files before it shows the new account registration? I saw a similar profit-sharing model in the past, but the project no longer continues its service due to a lack of interest from the market. IIRC, it was called Files.fm or something. What is your strategy to avoid similar results? Your competitor is not limited to any crypto-based file storage provider, but platforms like Mega and so on.
I have tried to make it as simple as possible, as you don't need any account to buy files, and the profile system is made only for sellers, the user registers automatically after he uploads his first file.
The No Refunds policy completely undermines your idea. If users cannot negotiate or return the money after payments, it is a suitable place for fraudsters, as any file can be uploaded, and when the brother party buys this file, he finds that it is incorrect or a wrong file, and then he cannot demand money or even money. Negative rating on the seller.
In short, your paid service is more like payment API and not Sell Files Securely for Cryptocurrency.
No Refunds
At Filesity, all sales are final. We do not provide refunds for any purchases made on our platform. The primary reason for this policy is that sellers receive funds instantly in their cryptocurrency wallets upon a successful transaction. This immediate transfer means we cannot retrieve or reverse the funds once they've been sent.
As I tried to make the platform as simple as possible so people can receive their crypto from sales instantly, there is no system to block the seller's funds in case of anything for moment, but once we will get some sellers we will make sure to add this feature, also a rating (reviews) system so people will feel more secure buying files with positive ratings.

Is this your website or you are just sharing it here?
I see Filesity website is in BETA phase, it is registered recently, and they already claim 14k+ uploads, 57k+ sales, and $210k+ earned for sellers...
Sorry but I think this is false advertisement, and I wouldn't really trust this for anything serious.
I am not sure if this is a scam or not, but it does look suspicious to me on first look.

We need sellers first after that we will promote the website for buyers.

Exactly, so why would I risk both getting scammed + paying a fee, if I am buying a file for $100 and the fee is $5, then I am risking an extra $5 for NOTHING, might just risk the $100 and deal directly with the seller/scammer.
If you charge a fee to facilitate a sale, then you should freeze the funds for a day or two or until the buyer approves the transaction, and when a transaction is disputed you need to have the right staff to look into the problem and solve it, people are are well trained and know how to decide who is in the wrong, OP apparently isn't doing any of that, besides his 50k+ sales in 5 weeks is just fishy as hell.
So given all that, this is stupid at best, scam at worst.
Thank you for your feedback, I will take it into consideration.
