Bitmit appears to be shutting down due to upcoming law changes. This is really unfortunate, as I was really liking this service. It was a great alternate place to list my products and I actually made quite a few sales on there. Not sure exactly what happened but this is the message that I just received when I tried to login to my bitmit account: "Bitmit closes Dear valued Bitmit user, Unfortunately we have to shut down Bitmit because of upcoming law regulations in our country. Our server is going to be turned off in about four weeks. Please complete your orders and withdraw all your Bitcoins within that timeframe.
We are very sorry for that We really enjoyed the collaboration with this awesome Bitcoin community! :*
Thank you so much for your support!
Your Bitmit Team
If you like you can spend us a goodbye beer :/ 1EP2w3vVAwTCK2xptWYAvBsM982sqaDz9w - Thank you! "You can also see it for yourself here: https://www.bitmit.net/en/What country are they located in that this would cause an issue? Are they being strong armed? P.S: for any of you who have bought from us on bitmit and have any questions or concerns, you can reach us here: http://www.allthingsluxury.biz/Contact-Us-2.html

Why doesn't the owner sell the website to someone willing to run it. IMO there is a shitload of ppl capable of running the site.
This way its a win win.

I know this is horrible. I would also really like to see them sell it off. Of course I know there might still be some lingering legal issues if they do this. Someone needs to start up an alternative site. I was seeing HUGE potential there.

Someone needs to start up an alternative site. I think it's called Silk Road.

What about finding a few trusted escrow services and simply recommending those?

Financial supervision requires special licences for businesses which holds customer funds Can't you just go back to a non escrow system, rather than shut the whole thing down. User feedback is typically a very good system for weeding out the corrupt.
