Etsy - but with Bitcoin

[alibitress]

It's just pricing glitch, there is no money laundering or illegal activity going on. I assure you that.
Being a solo developer, I try to solve most of the problems, and to be honest, I improve a lot, and many people supported the idea.
There is no tax evasion, if a customer is from EU or US, or any other location, AliExpress include the VAT with the pricing of each product, and same with the US customer, I have to pay US sales tax on each US order.

Ofcourse, I have to convert the crypto into Fiat, but the idea is to force big marketplaces to adopt crypto payments.

I also agree, that pricing is 20-30% high than the original price, and I'm working on it to decrease it to optimal price.

One forum member recenetly released clone of AliExpress called AliBitress that accepts Bitcoin payments, so in theory it's possible to do something like that with Etsy.

This has to be some kind of joke?

I get that people can set whatever price they want on their items, but the sales platform should be moderating the products going up to sale to make sure it is not money laundering in disguise of outrageous prices such as these - and there definitely shouldn't be a 7-figure US sales price on this order.

Are there any Bitcoin marketplaces that have been developed with similar DNA and design to that of the fiat, online marketplace Etsy?

I searched about what you wanted, about a Bitcoin marketplace like Etsy, but I did not find a marketplace like Etsy for cryptocurrencies other than the Marketplace board here in the forum, through which you can buy and sell goods with various members around the world, but you must use escrow so as not to be exposed to scam.

I hope that one of the developers and web designers will create a marketplace like Etsy for Bitcoin and for crypto in the future, it would be frankly a great and good idea for the crypto community.

For sites that offer you services to buy gift cards and top-ups with Bitcoin and Crypto online, I recommend the following sites but do not forget to do your research first:

We have a known ecommerce marketplace here in my local like etsy^(Shopee) accepting bitcoin, but im not so sure they will be available in other parts of the world other than South East Asia.

I hope that one of the developers and web designers will create a marketplace like Etsy for Bitcoin and for crypto in the future, it would be frankly a great and good idea for the crypto community.

There are lot of online marketplace has been made that mainly accept bitcoin but the main problem is people don't use it for many reasons, including the higher service fee, low marketing effort of the owner that results to lesser buyers and seller, reputation, etc.

Are you purchasing ordered items from original sellers and then shipping them to person who ordered from you, or you are only converting values from fiat to crypto with added fee?
If both you and seller can access personal information and delivery address, that is much higher risk of data leaks to happen in future.
I would pay more attention to this, and hire few more helpers to take care of bugs and issues.

I also agree, that pricing is 20-30% high than the original price, and I'm working on it to decrease it to optimal price.

Can you tell us how many people are actually using your website?
If you want to increase profit you need to reduce fees or offer some other advantages and discounts for paying with Bitcoin.

It's automated dropshipping using API,
customer places the order on the alibitress, payment gets verified on blockchain, and order is automatically sent to the seller on AliExpress using their dropshipping API.
A credit card is attached with the AliExpress account to fulfill the orders.

All of the customer data is encrypted on alibitress, and data is also removed from AliExpress after 15 days of delivery confirmation.

More than 50+ orders are shipped to different customers, many of the customers are returning customers.

I think, I found marketplace you might want to check out is like Bitify (bitify.com). It's a Bitcoin marketplace where you can buy and sell all sorts of digital and physical goods. While it's not quite as "homemade" as Etsy, I think it could be a good option if you're looking for a marketplace that accepts Bitcoin and has lower fees than Etsy.
