OpenBazaar Opened , your first impressions ?

[Wind_FURY]

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.

Why would there be more quality sellers when almost all Bitcoiners do not really have enough Bitcoins to spend? They have fiat and why do they need to convert to Bitcoin just to use OpenBazaar? Google is a much easier option to use to find items you want to buy with fiat and credit cards.

If they did native payments with xmr or zec then they could do private payments and possibly skip the taxman

very good point.

Its just another option of paying and for much more faster transaction. As you can see people today wanted also to purchase items from different parts of the world and are tired of going to banks to convert their local money to dollars so they can send someone abroad to pay for the ordered items he made. Bitcoin on the other hand is much easier to access, even without going out of the house you can still send you payments via bitcoin to the seller with ease without even going to the bank. It saves time and it saves money from transportation fee.

The point Trade was meant to be free would attract a lot.No terms and conditions to sign,no central authorities for restricting the trade seems good.Beating Ebay is far away from reality now as it is such a big giant in online shopping.But it can gain popularity among bitcoin community.

I think it is a great project which will give rise to the market of bitcoins. We can beat eBay in the future if we are able to bring more people in the bitcoins market, however this needs a lot of time. I haven't started selling goods in the OpenBazaar but i will surely in future.

I am not familiar with Openbazaar as i have never tried it but at the same time i don't heard a lot about this project. For me it provides neither more nor less than a way obvious to trade "under the radar" and a commercial activity through it while avoiding taxs.

My first impressions were back when it was still in beta, using testcoins. I was amazed at how good the interface was, even at that early stage. It was the first time I actually felt like it would be worth opening a store. There's so much crap involved with opening on etsy and the rest.  This holds a vision of a much better future if we can break through the inertia built up by the old system.

Even now, there are some great stores operating on OB and it will only get better.
