i'm curious how are they going to deal with customs charge for international shipping, what if the receiver, lies about the customs charge? are they adopting the ebey politic?
for first time i was thought it,i wonder how deal with it,but i now i think open bazaar will not take any responsibility about fraud or if peoplelies each other,its pure seller and costumer responsbility.

The thing is I still can't get it to work, as far as I'm concerned. I'm trying to look for my store using another PC, and yes it's seeding from my laptop and I can't seem to find it. IMO it still has a lot to improve on.

I've just installed OB, I didn't like that I had to choose a country. I chose Switzerland, even though I'm not Swiss, nor do I live there, but because it's neutral. I wish I could remove that geographical indication.
Then I had to choose a theme. I would like to be able to create my own.

I am impressed by the design. I love the idea of opening a shop in your own profile. Its basically like the famous social media sites (fb, twitter, IG) because there's the follow button but the thing is you get the chance of opening your own shop in your own profile. I personally like it, the thing I did not like is that you have to download the application.

I CAN'T USE OB!
I hadn't realized it with so many people comparing OB to Ebay, but you can't compare the 2 services, because OB don't have servers. It's peer-to-peer, with your OB store, if you want to have one, actually saved on your own computer. Meaning that if you want to have a store running 24/7, you need to have YOUR computer running 24/7. So, you can't travel...
Gosh, I know how P2P work but with so many people stupidly comparing OB with Ebay, I had forgotten it. I guess there's an opportunity to sell hosting services via BTC.

Like everything so far it's going to need third parties to thrive. Very, very few people are going to run an actual program on their machines. That's not how most of the world operates.
You need to run an actual program (web browser) to use amazon or ebay. Think about how many people with computers use a web browser. I'm betting it's more the 99%. Browsers are used to access absolutely everything. If I had to fire up a new program for every site I'd abandon the internet. Sure, a few eggheads are going to go for it. Regular humans won't even dream of it. presumably you use the mobile Safari browser to access your Facebook, Instagram & Snapchat accounts on your iPhone? and, do you even Bitcoin?

Based on this current version, I don't think it could compete with Ebay yet. I'd be happy if there are like 1000+ stores on there with a good selection of interesting physical items. I think they need to work on their UI, I'm not a big fan of it.
Of course it will not be able to compete with ebay.And I don't think this is the goal. This is just the first version and improvements and new features will come over time. Furthermore the crypto space is way too small at the moment and therefore OB will not be a threat to any of the marketplaces out there. But it is the first decentralized marketplace on top of Bitcoin which is pretty cool and more interesting things will come. Oh yeah, I think it would be awesome even if it just remained a niche alternative to Ebay. Is there any way to see any statistics on purchases etc.?

I am so happy!! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Now we can finally use bitcoins without paying excessive fee. This is a productive step towards increasing bitcoin user database. I have not started using it yet. But very soon I will purchase few items.

Listed a few items on OpenBazaar, love it so far, there's improvement to be made but for a first public release it has a lot of potential.

The interface doesn't look nice. It's too dark, and the first available products aren't much exciting either, it' doesn't look professional. Then a major turn-off is that to use it you have to download a big file. I'd be happy to sell stuff via OpenBazaar though. I just wish it would look more like Amazon.
I do not mind the size of the download, but I do not like installing 'untrusted' applications on my computer. And there are not many suppliers I trust for software. It would help if it is a standard package in the Ubuntu Repository. If it is, I know at least some people who know more about security than me have looked into it and approved it.
