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

Perhaps adding the ability for sellers to hide their listings from users with zero feedback may be helpful, although it could potentially have a negative impact on the growth of the site.

I'm sick of people buying my items without reading the listing first. If it says i ship to the US, why do people keep buying from around the world?! Half the bitcoin community are genius, the other half, illiterate.


I'm also curious about the "Restricted Content" that some users are given access too as stated in the Terms of Service. Details?

Also, is there really any benefit to getting verified? Do you gain special privileges?

[giszmo]

I purchased an item and, like an idiot, used my CampBX account to pay for it.  The seller cancelled the item and I have no idea where the 0.99428 BTC will be refunded, whether to my Bitmit account (I sure hope so) or to the address owned by CampBX.

So far it's still just sitting in this wallet:
https://blockchain.info/address/1559VdGeVxYNWePq77LR7GyvZ5pJbo3HoS

I haven't seen any funds go back to the address that the coins came from, but they're also not in my Bitmit account.

If it goes back to the CampBX wallet, I'll take it up with their support and maybe get the funds back sometime before my toddler is grown (CampBX support is extremely slow).

Can anybody shed some light on what will most likely happen?

Bitcoins will never flow from Bitmit to any wallet without a user hitting the withdraw button. If you buy without success or sell with success, you always end up with a balance in your wallet, so don't worry about bitmit sending your money to random addresses. This is not satoshi dice.

That is WONDERFUL news!  Thanks!

This term allows us to block some site features (like selling items) when we think that something is fishy at users side.

Also, is there really any benefit to getting verified? Do you gain special privileges?

For some type of items which cannot be protected by escrow and which have a high rate of fraud attempts (such as reversible gift cards, paypal etc) we require users to get verified.

I just fixed this problem for you! People cannot order from you anymore if they choose a shipping address country you are not shipping to.

Bitcoins are always credited to your Bitmit wallet and never automatically sent back to one of the senders wallet btc address. Just check out yuor Bitmit wallet, I am sure you will find the funds there!

Currently I am updating some stuff under the hood of Bitmit. So far Bitmit is fixed to btc as the only payment method and after the checkout the invoice/order page shows all prices in btc and indeed the prices are also saved in btc. This is a limitation I want to get rid of. I believe many of us (merchants, people who need to show the bitmit invoice to customs etc) prefer to see the item currency as main one and after that the btc price incl. conversion rate on the order page. Besides of that we can easily add other payment methods as well then.

Finally realized that I needed to go to the listing, click Options, and choose "Claim Bitcoins back". Thanks!

However, I'm now waiting on the seller, who cancelled the order, to release the funds back to me.  Wouldn't it make sense to change it so that this isn't required if the seller cancels an order?

Please add LTC! :-D

Update
Now you can use your item ID a life long (Provided that the item has not been deleted). We offer you the option to reactivate your canceled / inactive items. Simply click the Relist button in your sell area or navigate to the item and click edit. It does not create a new item anymore, instead it is updating the old one. If you want to relist the item with a new item id you need to click "Sell similar item".

Useful feature! Can be get a feature to have a watchlist? I keep on bookmarking a lot of the auctions but miss out. Maybe have a email sent when watching a item is coming close to ending.

down again!!! you should really solve this bitmit! makes me want an alternative

[bernard75]

Thx new tosaki, the recent changes are cool, and you and the team are doing an amazing job.

[uk1]

[bernard75]

again? please put your servers not in mongolia where it takes 30sec to even connect, while your at it.

[starsoccer9]

bitmit is quite hard to rely on when it in the past months it has gone down for around 7days now total. This is including all the maintence and the other downtime.

[favdesu]

down again? this is getting out of hand...

[hendo420]

down again? this is getting out of hand...

I need to stop keeping so much BTC there.

Is there an alternative to Bitmit? If not there needs to be. Competition is always good.

cryptothrift is a good alternative, also bitcoinclassfieds. There really are not very many big ones like bitmit tho.

[bernard75]

Oh, they have grown unbelievably during the last months, i just whish there would be somebody responsible or rather techwise controlling it.

[Welsh]

Can we get a update please?

[MakeBelieve]

Down again? It's been down for the last few hours.

[faiza1990]
