I am wondering if there is an auction site like ebay, or anything similar that accepts bitcoins.

Yes there is. Cryptothrift.com. It's pretty good. Accepts LTC as well.

https://cryptothrift.com/

I've used Cyptothrift a few times. I like it and expect big things from it in the future. Hopefully it can compete with ebay one day.

That doesn't seem like an ebay-like site?

I just don't think there is the demand for this type of site yet to become a success.

bitmit.net was a good site.. very similar to ebay, just one problem, very few products available for sale. not only that, very little traffic for sellers so they aren't encouraged to list more items.  

same thing with the likes of cryptothrift.com.  It's almost a catch-22, like i said too early for bitcoin only auction websites.  Give it a year or two, but by this time i would expect ebay to accept bitcoin (perhaps through paypal, who knows)

But give these things time. They'll grow organically. There's a nice little ammount of stuff on Crytothroft and the listings grow daily. I'd rather use that and sell my stuff directly for coin rather than sell it on ebay and get scammed on fees.

maybe because not enough promotion?
i never saw bitmit site before, because it was closed in 2013
but I think there is always a demand for an auction of goods, not huge demand but they can try promote it everywhere

We can help promote them and bitcoin by keep spreading the word. The Starbuckjs vouchers on there are very cheap. Might have to buy one and test it out.

What ever happened to bitmit? It just randomly decided to shut down. Think there might have been one over as well that did the same thing.

I have used cryptothrift and I can recommend it. The built in escrow is useful. I wonder how long it is before we can spend our coins directly on ebay though. That would be huge news.

Coingig was also shutdown at the beginning of this year I think.

Yes it did, without much explanation either.  With that said I used it a bunch of times and liked using it.

Cryptothrift is a good alternative, but desperately needs some site layout improvement.

The future will be a decentralized consensus auction platform like Open Bazaar.

I hope in the future such a thing gets a similar userbase as seen in ebay. Clearly ebay is the best when it comes to finding about anything, but these fucking taxes are ridiculous and if you sell stuff very sporadically you are prone to lose money with them.

Bitmit shut down after it is hacked by the hosting company employee.

Certainly there is but the reason most merchants dont orefer accepting cryptocurrency is because of the volatility nature it has..
