Was checking on the legal part for Square -- and although they don't specifically target bitcoin, the following statements from here may invalidate usage for it:

https://squareup.com/legal/ua

Quote

"By creating a Square Account, you also confirm that you will not accept payments in connection with the following businesses or business activities: < snip > (15) financial institutions offering manual or automated cash disbursements, (16) financial institutions offering merchandise and services, (17) sales of money-orders or foreign currency by non-financial institutions, etc..."

Too bad, eh? Payment processors are real kill-joys.

Nice site.

If you sign up for square, you could have them pay by credit card on your smartphone - though I don't know what their chargeback policies are. Perhaps cash is best.

Like to see the userbase grow of course, but its a good start.

Update:
Hmm, just checked - they say it is %2.75 for swiped cards. So on a transaction of $100, that amounts to an extra $2.75. Not bad... apparently there are no chargeback fees, either. Business opportunity?

Great idea although the philosophy behind the site is to help people avoid the banking system altogether. Nevertheless, people are welcome to trade via credit cards, PayPal, etc. Cash is still "King" though!

For me, as a user, what is the difference to http://localbitcoins.com/ ?

Localbitcoins.com is a great site. I recommend that buyers and sellers use all of the sites to improve their liquidity and opportunities for trading. TradeYourBitcoin.com is intended to be more streamlined and simple. Only sellers need create a listing. Buy and sell prices are negotiated directly between parties. Also, TradeYourBitcoin.com allows for 65 different language translations so it has a nice, global reach.

Is the English language option missing?

English is the default language.

The closest seller to me is only 1,600 miles. Cool!

Yes, therein lies the opportunity for local sellers to list themselves

- it's a brand new site so folks should list themselves if they want to have local buyers pay them in cash for their bitcoin.

I love your site, BTW.

Thanks!
