I've mentioned your platform on topics that had something to do with OB alternatives in the past, so it's nice to see that you've finally decided to announce your platform on this forum ^{[I hope this means you're going to be active, as opposed to little to no presence of OB in the past]}.
<sup>- Out of curiosity, did any of the developers from the previous OB team transfer to Mobazha?
- FWIW, I'm still not sure what has changed since the last time that I checked your platform, so I'm going to take a closer look before I give my feedback in the coming days.</sup>

Of course, thank you very much for your recognition. At the beginning, many of us worked together to refactor oenbazaar, but over the past few years, some may have left due to life or other reasons. Thank you for your recognition and joining

After spending more time on it and seeing that Mobazha has covered everything ^[literally], I don't think I can offer any further advice ^{[the only thing that remains is expanding the marketing reach (something OB didn't pay enough attention to)]}.
^{- The amount of information in the documentation was quite overwhelming, but luckily, the onboarding process was simple enough without lacking any options.}

Question

• If the "one-time 14-day extension" period also passes ^{[e.g., further delays due to unfortunate events]} without receiving the physical goods, what will happen to the buyer's funds?

I got 404 too, trying to see stores

Sorry for the late reply. The link in the original post was outdated, which is why the page could not be opened. I have now corrected the link in the post.
Thank you for pointing this out and for your interest in Mobazha. You can access the marketplace here:

Mobazha Is Looking for Merchants, Buyers and Promoters
Hello everyone,
We would like to invite merchants, buyers and promoters to try Mobazha and help us improve the marketplace through real use and honest feedback.
Mobazha is an independent open-source successor to OpenBazaar. Our involvement with the OpenBazaar ecosystem began in 2017. After the original OpenBazaar project shut down in 2021, we continued rebuilding the project. The process has taken several years, but we have not given up.
Mobazha is currently in beta.
During the initial stage, we plan to charge no platform commission or listing fees. Blockchain network fees or fees charged by external payment providers may still apply.
Our current priorities are:
- Helping merchants create and operate independent stores
- Bringing real products and buyers into the marketplace
- Testing the complete purchasing experience
- Improving payments, store discovery and dispute handling
- Receiving honest feedback from merchants, buyers, promoters and developers
You can try Mobazha here:

Product referral feature already available
The current Mobazha beta already includes a product referral reward feature.
A merchant can set a referral reward for an individual product and generate a referral link for that product.
For example:
- Promoter A shares a product referral link.
- Buyer B opens the link and purchases the product.
- The product is delivered and the order is completed.
- Buyer B confirms receipt and raises no refund or dispute.
- Promoter A then receives the product referral reward set by the merchant.
The merchant decides the reward amount for each product.
This allows merchants to control their own promotional costs while giving community members an incentive to introduce useful products to potential buyers.
Referral rewards come from successfully completed sales. Clicks and registrations alone do not generate rewards.
Cancelled, refunded, disputed or fraudulent orders are not eligible for completed referral rewards.
This feature is already available in the beta and can be tested at any time. We welcome feedback about the referral-link experience, reward settlement and possible abuse-prevention rules.
A proposed platform referral program
In addition to the existing product referral feature, we are considering a separate platform-level referral program.
This is currently only a proposal. We would like to hear the community’s opinion before deciding whether and how to implement it.
During the early stage, Mobazha would continue to charge no platform commission.
After several months, or possibly after one year depending on the development of the marketplace, we may introduce a platform commission of approximately 2% to 5% on successfully completed orders.
Any future platform commission would be clearly announced in advance.
The commission could be used for:
- Software development and maintenance
- Infrastructure and security
- Documentation and user support
- Marketplace promotion
- Rewards for people who introduce active merchants and buyers
Under the proposed platform referral model:
1. If a merchant registers through a promoter’s invitation link and later completes sales, part of the platform commission collected from those sales would be shared with the promoter who introduced the merchant.
2. If a buyer registers through a promoter’s invitation link and later completes purchases, part of the platform commission collected from the merchant’s side of those orders could be shared with the promoter who introduced the buyer.
3. Registration alone would not generate a reward. Rewards would only come from real and successfully completed transactions.
4. Rewards would only be confirmed after the relevant order has been completed and no refund, cancellation or unresolved dispute remains.
5. This would be a single-level referral program. There would be no multi-level commissions or rewards for recruiting additional promoters.
6. Self-referrals, related-account abuse, fake purchases and wash trading would not qualify for rewards.
We are considering keeping the direct referral relationship active for as long as the referred merchant or buyer continues to complete real transactions on Mobazha.
However, the reward percentage, duration and detailed rules have not yet been finalized.
We would like to ask the community:
- Would a future platform commission between 2% and 5% be reasonable?
- Should platform referral rewards remain active permanently or have a fixed duration?
- What percentage of the platform commission should be shared with the promoter?
- Should merchant referrals and buyer referrals use different reward rules?
- Is the existing merchant-defined product referral feature attractive to merchants and promoters?
- How can referral attribution be implemented without unnecessarily affecting user privacy?
- What protections should be introduced against self-referrals and fake transactions?
The purpose of this proposal is to reward people who bring real merchants, buyers and completed commerce to Mobazha. It is not intended to reward recruitment alone.
If you are a merchant, you can create a store, publish products and test the product referral feature.
If you are a buyer, you can explore the marketplace and tell us what would make you feel comfortable placing an order.
If you are interested in promoting useful products, you are welcome to test the referral process and share your experience.

We look forward to hearing your opinions and suggestions.

No problem. Recently, we have been trying to promote and have invited some merchants. We are very glad to receive your feedback. We have been working on solving this issue recently and will notify you once it is resolved. Thank you very much for your feedback.

Nice to hear that BTW you have more than enough merits to rank up to jr. member, you just need to post regularly and in a two weeks you can have jr. membership status. I suggest to be more active on this thread - it will make your service more visible and maybe gain new customers / vendors.

If you want to start signature campaign it is best to discuss with a signature campaign managers about duration/funding/campaign goals etc.

I suggest reading this article, you could find it very useful, also there is list of managers that can be contacted about the campaign:
How to Advertise Your Casino on BitcoinTalk.org
This article is written mostly for casinos that want to advertise on forum, but it could be applicable to exchanges, shops, and other services too.

Is this separate from the invitation program? https://app.mobazha.org/settings/referrals
I noticed you also run that one, which offers a much larger commission. Though, unfortunately, I have to wait a year to claim it.

By the way, regarding the referral rewards, are there any plans to add an option for payouts in BTC? Currently, only USDT is supported.
