Bitmit - Bitcoin shopping mall - Bitcoin market place - Bitcoin auction house

[Merchant]

Has anyone successfully used the CSV feature? I am interested in creating and manipulating large numbers of similar items, but whenever I try the import function I get the following error:

Invalid condition (Possible values: 1,2 or 3)

I understand the instructions on the Bitmit CSV Api page, but no obvious attempts to fix the parameter in question solve the problem.

Thanks,

Very nice.  It is funny there is no country filter for some of these websites.  It would be nice if you could filter for other countries.  I am thinking Latin American countries or Asian.

There are country filter for every country on bitmit. [ removed for brevity ]

Argentina is not there in the pull-down.  Does this mean there are no products offered from Argentina on bitmit?

1. With the possibly to PM eachother
2. Has already been suggested many times, BM doesnt like it

yeah, I suggested it in the past, because I'm suffering from the unpaid orders too.

I bet they don't like #2 because they would lose 20% order volume

[favdesu]

is the site down?

It isn't? Are you surfing Bitmit from a Argentinia IP?

Try this link: https://www.bitmit.net/?country=AR . To make the change permanently you need to select it from the dropdown by yourself or go to settings -> misc -> site version and select ar.

In fact most orders on Bitmit are not auctions but buy now. Pre-payment sounds like a good solution for the problem but I think this will scary many potential buyers away because some people are purchasing the btc for large orders after they won the order.

I've got the following proposal:
- Setting to require sms verification for potential buyers

We also got some users on Bitmit who are hearing BTC for the first time and simply buy products but cannot pay -> We need to make it more clear on the checkout process that the only available payment method is Bitcoin

In fact most orders on Bitmit are not auctions but buy now.

If auctions can be destroyed by simply creating a new account and bidding with no money in the pocket, it's not that much fun to both offer and bid on an auction. Please review your 20% no-pay if it is worse on auction style as no-pay hurts 100 times more there than on buy now style where the seller has plenty on stock and the sale does not disappear just because some a**** clicked buy just for fun.

Pre-payment sounds like a good solution for the problem but I think this will scary many potential buyers away because some people are purchasing the btc for large orders after they won the order.

Absolutely agree with this from the buyer side but please take into account the damage done to your active users, especially to those that – like me – prefer auction style for getting rid of stuff they don't want to put a price lable on.

I've got the following proposal:
- Setting to require sms verification for potential buyers

I have 4 throw away numbers, others prefer not to give you their number. In order to bid, make them either provide a phone number or charge the account with BTC and please make auction style with payment mandatory for users with less than 1 successful purchase. It sux soo big when an auction comes to an end after a bid war with 5 people involved that all invested time, sweat and tears when the winner doesn't collect his purchase.

I could imagine much stricter rules that would prevent 5 times buyers of some voucher items to bid on houses and other expensive stuff cause how can I auction off a house on bitmit with every interested party being able to destroy the auction with a throw away account?

We also got some users on Bitmit who are hearing BTC for the first time and simply buy products but cannot pay -> We need to make it more clear on the checkout process that the only available payment method is Bitcoin

Therefore, contain those first timers on sales where they don't make offers disappear for the time it takes to learn about bitcoin. Always  look at the two sides of the decision. Sure, those noobs might refrain from hitting buy and never come back but half of them might never buy a single item and the other half might not compensate for the frustrated customers of you that simply leave because you unleashed a horde of idiots on their customer support capacities.

You could kill two birds with one stone by making it mandatory for the first buy.

I've been trying to register for the last couple days, and when today I was finally able to create an account when confirming with the SMS it wasn't received...
I've looked in the thread and apparently this was done to be tor proof, but it must be giving a lot of false positives, it took me several resets in my dsl modem to change my ip to be able to register, my real ip. And now I can't confirm the account

Bitmit is temp. offline due to harddisk replacement

What happened to your reddit/twitter accounts?

[peterblack]

I just did my first buy on BitMit last night. Obviously the item has not been shipped yet.

Sent over 6 BTC to their escrow and now this?
Please make official statement on what's going on? Why you haven't notified your users by email?
Why are your accounts down?

Thanks

Bitmit is temp. offline due to harddisk replacement

What happened to your reddit/twitter accounts?

come on....
Everyone knows when u replace a hard drive
1> the website must go down, leaving no maintenance site
2> you disable your twitter account instead of posting maintenance or something
3> disable reddit account
4> keep bitcoin account active

Working on hardware server uptimes, hot upgrades and replacements etc the only times a HD causes down time is with a failure of a non mirror'd HD. and the servers that have important things running on them are all mirror/raid drives which can be easily flipped to another server...
But we arent normal, we plan for failures and such

[favdesu]

https://twitter.com/BitmitNet this is not good. did they just delete their twitter account?

[tosaki]

Guys you don't have to worry. We have disabled the twitter account some time ago (after the design refresh when we removed the social sidebar..)  because we used it only for posting new items and this was at the end only spam, no real content.

We had an issue with our hard disk , therefore our raid system needs to be rebuilt and we need to run FSCK command to repair the file system. This will take some time and I hope we can get back in max 24 hours.

All funds are safe + we have backups for all files. I am sorry for the circumstances this unexpected maintenance is causing.

[tosaki]

Although Americans get used to shut downs we are back up and online again ;-)

No data loss, no hacked passwords etc.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do.

We will learn from this mistake and are going to make Bitmit more redundant to prevent such failures in future.

[miffman]

Thank you for the very quick fix 

[pc163]

so bitmit is not a scam?  Thanks for fixing it

I only have one source of unpaid orders, people who don't RTFM to know they need Bitcoins. If pre-loading bitcoins for new people is unacceptable, how about requiring them to provide a BTC address that has BTC in it to register/bid that will be checked before the person is allowed to proceed.

Yep, sign address with OTP!
