For a new project you should not blame them for not being mature on all fronts. Maybe an open source developer wants to improve on this ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) 'Somebody should fork OpenBazaar to create OpenBazaar Classic so the initial euphoria can be sustained.'

Overall Look and feel for Open Bazzar is great. I tried it myself and found it to be very user friendly and easy to Use. Hats off to the ones who developed them

The UI is nice but overall the software is still pretty buggy. I don't think it will supplant ebay until it can run in a browser. Also the fact that it's really difficult to move to a VPS after installing locally is also kind of a drag. Growing pains, I guess. I do see the potential but I feel like I am running an early beta of the software.

Yeah, it's no real competition against eBay, and even if they manage to run the software all integrated in the browser as a webpage, it will not be a real competitor against ebay anyway. Most people still don't see usage in Bitcoin because they have to buy it first with fiat, so it's pretty stupid to buy with fiat the Bitcoin, then buy whatever you want to buy. Why would you do that if you can buy it directly with fiat? Until people start getting paid in Bitcoin directly, most people will not use Bitcoin as a currency but instead as a better gold.

Beating eBay? No way. Even if you have better script, support, etc you won't beat eBay. You'd need like $ 20K in SEO to beat them.
Idiots making predictions, lol

Pretty sure the community will be helping the devs with the current bugs. Open Bazaar looks like it would be a success with peer to peer transactions so I don't think the community will keep quiet about this one.

Idiots making predictions, lol If it can offer more products at dismounted price than ebay,it can beat ebay.Many other ecommerce websites are already giving ebay a hard time with their efficient fast delivery,easy return policy,heavy discounts etc

For me personally its a little bit too "raw". I wouldn't seriously consider buying anything from it, since search engine is bad, user interface is non-existent etc. Im counting it will improve a lot to current standards.

It works. With no central server. what it needs: - Hidden IP addresses, using Tor or I2P, essential for success
- Workable trust system, possibly essential for success, unless there is enormous demand for the product
- Useful search engine, standardized category tags would make it bearable, the current method requires that both the buyer and seller be able to spell

Pros : good marketing, good logo, simple UI , chat
Cons : user experience, discover page / search bar returns very little result, no filter, no category
Also had some connectivity issues, sometimes my server would completely disconnect, unable to find any listings/page or url query ( not a filter issue)
Overall i think openbazaar has a lot of potential, originality and uniqueness but needs to be more stable and user friendly for the average joe.

After trying it for a week or two I think the concept is good but that it is not quite ready.
Biggest complaints:
1. The need for the program to stay open for people to access your store. This is a big hurdle, paying for and setting up a VPS is a PITA. Specialized hosting services will become available for cheap eventually I suppose, but that kind of defeats the purpose in a way too.
2. I don't like the window UI at all. It might look ok for a Mac user, but for me it took far too long to even figure out that the weird red, yellow and green dots were the buttons to manipulate the window, and even now that I have used them a lot I still think they are awful, way too small and placed strangely. On the client for Windows I would want and expect the standard Windows GUI. It is also highly annoying that the window can not minimize to system tray rather than task bar.
3. It's very buggy. The most breaking bug is that I find that sometimes the server seem to shut down without warning even when the window is open, and I don't notice it until hours later when I try to refresh randomly. But there are also plenty of smaller bugs, like some messages refuse to go away when I click "clear conversation", and at first it was impossible to type the symbol @ on some keyboards (this is fixed now).

LOL OpenBazaar is a great initiative and project for buying with bitcoin. Since its a new project we can expect some delays or misconfgurations but that is not to be discouraged them but we can expect full swing overall improvement very soon.
