Selling items online for Bitcoin or crypto

[Walrus1]

Hey dudes hope you are well. I sell a lot of things on Craigslist. I am now planning on putting a couple things up and saying I accept btc or eth along with the greenback. Wondering if you guys have tried this. I

It's a very good idea to buy goods online, and it will make it easier for those who want to buy your goods using good bitcoin, eth or other coins.

Thats not a new concept since many are already doing that on facebook. But it is also good that there are people like you who patronize this kind of trade. If there are more people like you do who will accept bitcoin and ethereum then probably we can move closer to the real goal of bitcoin to be a medium of exchange in buying goods and services both online and offline.

Utilising solidity to help provide an escrow system would be perfect for crypto merchant marketplaces, i'm sure one exists already.

Yes, Craig's list does have a crypto option so it's not new, just new for me. I'd like to do btc but due to the transaction time I don't think it would be practical for btc which is a shame. Craig's list sales are usually face to face transactions

Its nice to know that you were eager on promoting crypto on your online business,since not all people knows about bitcoin but once people get interested on the things you sell online most probably they will ask you about cryptocurrency like bitcoin and how does this work to be a mode of payment..its like you are promoting your things online and at the same time you are introducing bitcoin and other crytocurrencies as well.Possibilities would be its another way of an introductory overview on cryptocurrencies to everyone whose always in front of their computer,laptops and phones..those internet users that give almost all their time but never profit at all.

[kurdapyo]

then this site is a safe place to trade because of face to face transaction, avoid scam. Its really hard to trust to buy online because of its dis-advantages

I don't think there will be too many takers out there to purchase smaller priced items with Bitcoin or Ethereum, but if there is an option to widen the number of cryptocurrencies you accept, then it could work. Not sure on Craigslist, but on personal websites, you can set up payment options with a number of different crypto options. Fair play for giving it a go though, maybe your kid's bike could be worth a few thousand in a couple of years if you sell it for Bitcoin now.

It is going to be good if you place a different item for sale, most of the users are kept asking can we purchase products or items by using bitcoin. Yes, you can start but check with your government because while shipping they will identify you.

I agree, I doubt I'll have any takers but I'd really like to see btc used as it should

I guess, but if I managed to sell anything for Bitcoin currently, I would not then be buying anything with it, I would hold it for the foreseeable future. That is the main issue really, even when purchases are made with Bitcoin, that Bitcoin is generally not used to buy something else. It won't work as a currency until it freely circulates, and I just don't think enough people would spend it. If someone did buy from you using Bitcoin, can you honestly tell me that you would then use that Bitcoin to buy something yourself? I doubt it, and I know for sure I wouldn't.

Hi. Selling items online for bitcoin or any other crypto is okay. You need to have also means on how to get funds for your bitcoin.

Really? What items do you sell? I like buying stuff online with BTC and resell them in real life with profit and then buy BTC again.

Can you post your Craigslist links? Ty.

[btcCoincart]

I know many people sell stuffs for bitcoin or altcoins online, and it should be more easier for them to do so
Hope you will do well!

if you are really interested in e-commerce and using bitcoin as the payment option then i am sure you will find OpenBazaar[1] very interesting. and it would be cryptocurrency-focused so you don't worry about not having any takers. it is open source, free with no fees, decentralized. it will require you to study it first and learn how things work but it is worth checking out.

get a doge tipbot address for me please, and I shall bestow upon you all my doges (~9).

Been in a shit mood all week. The little boosts like unexpected laughter are more appreciated than you can imagine.

[CAPT.DEADPOOL]

lots of selling items that bitcoin is paid even with merchandize and stores they accept the payment bitcoin because bitcoin has a future and this price is too high the way to earn and hold only

That looks great, no fees on either end and loads of accepted cryptocurrencies. Have you used it to buy or sell anything yet?

[Payapa]

We do actually have a section here on the forum where you can buy and sell stuffs online, and have BTC as a mode of Payment. Check out the "Marketplace" section of the forum. If you're planning to make a business out of it, I'd say make BTCs just an option for now, and use digital currencies as a mode of payment primarily. Not all would be open to pay you in BTC, but if you just include it as an option, others would have the freedom to choose (Of course, BTC payments would be better since it'll be like an automatic investment).

[Shreek]

good idea, and if you will do more in the media, I think you will be a crypto man, who only accepts with crypto especially Bitcoin and ETH.

and the last, the spreading of crypto will be faster and will be many people who are interested in crypto, and in the end bitcoin will be tool transactions.
