No, it's not an exchange. No fiat is held by the website. Crypto is transferred from the seller to the buyer.
Think of it as Amazon/Etsy for crypto except even the seller is paid directly.
I'm not great at graphics and focused more getting the code to work correctly. Even Binance the favicon sucks, does not have About Us, no location, is a central exchange, cheesy Ads, but millions threw crypto on there (this is before they became a monster).
I understand the concern about scamming and I think this is what will keep us all from using Coinbase and big players at this point. It's just easier to deal with what you know and trust. Also, not a lot of people want to offer their coins for fiat.
You don't need to trust me to list items and you don't technically need to trust the seller before buying (verification is required) since you can dispute Paypal transactions, if you use that. Also, an escrow service can be used.
They don't need to trust you??
If they don't trust you then how can they trust your verification? (Who knows if it's safe to entrust our indentities or if it's fake or not).
Everyone who used any of the big player exchanges has their first times so obviously they have no past experience with that particular exchange so surely it must've looked "trustable" in their eyes. I'm not only talking about the look and feel as there are also other factors that contributes to it such as reviews, transparency etc.. but it's no doubt that the look and feel is a crucial part so man you gotta work on your UI--- and yeah a lot of other things also.
