You can now safely buy and sell any item for bitcoin in a p2p marketplace

With the recent launch of https://market.forra.io are we heading into a new era of bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole?

Is the marketplace really peer to peer? I think its a centralised website, a slow one at that, where the seller has to sign up and post items for sale.

I also regret clicking the link. The rest of you should be careful. No offense to you seOG.

New era? No. It's just that we have now a service like that which is currently not present widely in crypto.

But as a whole, Im not familiar with them and I don't know how legit they are. So let's see if they will be popular in their service here in crypto world in the long run.

It's quite easy for an internet guy to know if the link is somehow fishy.

There isn't really such a thing yet as purely decentralised p2p, how else do you think you could advertise your items and trades? Even DEXs now still have hosting and software centralised. What this marketplace and others are doing is allowing traders to keep funds in their own wallets or locked in smart contract or multisig escrow. That's the starting point.

If some day we could post trades into individual smart contracts all on chain, then sure that's the next step for removing centralisation. But how do you get all blockchains to interact with each other, that's another step.

Lol no, I've seen way better marketplaces. There's really nothing special about this particular one.
Just looking at the first couple of listings, I can already see that this isn't that great.

If I see gift cards among the first items shown, I just know already that the other listing aren't going to be interesting either.

This site is created last August 08, 2018 and the contact info is only state and country? No original location and the site owner looks anonymous, no more details given from whois which I think that the site is not safe.

He didn't even know the correct spelling of "Privacy Polity" it must be "Privacy Policy" I just made an archive just in case here https://web.archive.org/web/20180927181612/https://market.forra.io/

And I noticed that it only had 40 items in the marketplace. You must provide a local business location, contact number and prove that we can trust the site?

The marketplace is entirely peer 2 peer, and the link is fine nothing we do not request anything from you.

 yes, our site loads slightly slow at the moment. It just launched

We have a lot of interesting features and plenty more to come. We did just launch so what you are seeing now is an mvp.

What makes us different and better is the sell to us feature.

Your chart also seems to be broken on the front page, or I'm missing something here. When I hover over a datapoint greater than $0, I see the fees of Forra for sellers are stated to be $0.04 even though you guys state that the seller fees are 0%. Is this an error on the graph, or do you just charge a $0.04 fee per transaction?

I also think you should be comparing yourselves to other marketplaces online such as Bitify, rather than to traditional sites like eBay or Amazon. It's not exactly a secret that there are also other crypto marketplaces out there, and you guys seem to have lower fees. Seems like a missed opportunity to get more people on the site to me.

This is really thought out, thanks for the advice. The fees you are seeing are the blockchain transaction fees. on average the gas fee is  $0.04 We can make that more clear.

the site owner looks anonymous, no more details given from whois which I think that the site is not safe.

The owner (not sure if that picture belongs to him or not): Patrick Manfra

prove that we can trust the site?

This.

Is "Forra" connected to your previous project (Junktion), specifically asking in regards to "SRC reward" ?
- I asked that since "Junktion's home page" redirects to "Forra" + On your "support pop-up it says: Welcome to Junktion".

I am the person who owns this site. We can be trusted. We do not have many reviews, but few people already used out site and sold something. We are in the early stages. We launched about 2 weeks ago

We are going nowhere with that service. The main page has all the prices listed in dollars instead of BTC/ETH. I would never use a service which thinks pricing their products in cryptos is not important. There is practically no information of cryptos/p2p marketplace on the website.

So if someone makes a purchase on our site, they need to know how much USD value it is before crypto....if I say .0124123 btc it can get confusing fast. You are not able to pay using USD, but the prices are in USD so users can quickly know the price.
