https://twitter.com/openbazaar/status/613142330846113792 I'm joining their slack, is just a better way to see how things are coming along, well it has taken off since they got funding, I'm glad they did because at some point i thought it was gonna die since other markets had come out.

great to hear you've officially used Open Bazaar! you're one of the first customers that I'm aware of making a physical purchase. hope to set up my own store there eventually though it will probably be just digital goods.

I had a quick look on the site and through it's FAQ for the answer to my question but couldn't see an answer.

Are payments always made 100% up front? If so there are going to be scams on the vendor side.

When transactions can be 'released' after a courier tracking service status is set to "delivered", we will have reached a special moment in time.

Anything could be in the tracked box, or the box could be empty, as I have personal knowledge of a Bitmit escrow scammer doing that. IIRC, the documentation said there are 4 payment options that will be in OpenBazaar's stable public release (as opposed to only 1 in beta). Only one of them will be direct payment from buyer to seller, the rest will involve a 3rd party.

Better to use Peter todds op checkverify script for escrow

Yes. I found the blog last night and was reading about notaries. I was thinking the ideal party to do this could be the courier as that confines the trade to the only three parties who are involved in the exchange. You could argue conflict of interest, but reputation should be pretty important to a professional courier.

The buyer could check the package before he signs. This would be more time consuming for the courier for which he could adjust his prices for.

Will openbazaar run like a website like eBay or will each user need to install a piece of software?

The first nail in eBay's coffin.. AWESOME!!!
Can't wait for the day eBay shuts its offices and fires their incompetent employees. I will put extreme efforts into this project to make it a success.

As Quoted from above link "OpenBazaar will not adhere to those regulations. OpenBazaar is a protocol and trading platform, not a business and not even an arbitrator. It is up to individuals to comply to local laws and their own consciences."
Regards to the sentence of local laws, I still think that there won't be any freedom for an individual, Government will try to add more regulations if they ascertain that it is against their protocols.

But is there already an open to use version of OpenBazaar ? Never saw any releases, that one can try out. For now it's just vaporware, but i hope it will change soon.

Can't stand anymore to pay +15% to ebay, when selling on their site.

We just have to wait a bit longer for user friendly versions and with that will come a decent market place where people can buy/sell hopefully make a living by trading without fees.
