Honestly, I never really felt anything special when OpenBazaar went up. I was like "this is bound to happen" kind of feeling because of course, I am sure someone would eventually do that and they just did.

I like the discovery and search function, but the actual selection is still extremely limited compared to Amazon or Ebay. Hope they are able to get more quality sellers onboarded soon.

Right now, I saw the first store and I think its pretty nice, now everyone can start such a store and it also looks pretty fine. The downside is only that you can get scammed if you make such a website and someone makes a look a like from your one and sell the same with lower prices in my opinion. It will not happen fast of course but its possible for sure.

I think I find it difficult to look for stuff to buy that is near from my country or seller from my country because the ship cost should be more expensive than the stuff itself when it is sent from the other country. so I do not try to buy things there yet.

Everything should be available to read from their official blog : https://blog.openbazaar.org/ and there is definitely weekly improvements since the first day they released it . Unless they keep developing it and start doing some serious marketing and advertising the software even though Its decentralized , It will end up dead for sure.

This will never take off until governments all around the world remove physical cash and people start working for btc, then people will have a real incentive to use bitcoin to buy stuff, but right now, why would they bother with using crypto to buy stuff when they can use fiat? you need to first convert fiat to then get btc to then buy... too many steps.

This is a very positive start it's been so many months and I hardly knew about this. It's decent but to say it can take on eBay just cause it accepts Bitcoin is huge imagination. I don't think it can just beat eBay by use of Bitcoin, it will require more than Bitcoin heavy marketing needs to be done. More and more people should be using btc. Each and every country should accept Bitcoin then maybe.

The point of openbazaar is not in using bitcoin. The point is a p2p marketplace which is not controled by no authority and does not have no middlemen between buyer and seller. At least, this is what OB creators claim. Bitcoin is just a form of payment which allows automated escrow. OB success will depend on whether people really need such a decentralized marketplace or are they happy enough with ebay.

I don't think nobody is going to need anything more than ebay unless they want to buy drugs or avoid taxes, other than that, why would you use OpenBazzar I ask? If you get paid in bitcoin, maybe you feel tempted to buy something, but as some pointed out... nobody is going to bother to convert fiat into bitcoin paying the exchange fees and waiting for the transactions to happen and so on, just to do the exactly same thing you could have done with regular fiat. Maybe in the future it will come handy, right now is just an experiment, or at least that is the case for developed countries, in other countries with no access to ebay it could be a big hit.

I'm not very impressed with OpenBazaar I think there is still lot of space for improvements. The offer could be better also as the number and quality of sellers. Still the concept of trade available to everyone is good so hope that with time it will reach the standards and popularity of eBay or Amazon.
