Topic: Anyone using Bitmit? (Read 2813 times)

I know it, but that's the thing I can sell and I hope that geeky people have mother, girlfriend and sisters 

You must also look what people are using bitcoin right now, probably 90%+ male and geeky type of people.
They probably have smartphones already and don't want jewellery type stuff.
For example a few weeks ago someone was selling raspberry pi, they all have been sold in rather short time.
But sometimes it just takes a little longer, I had a usb wlan stick that took months until someone bought it

There aren't really "reviews," but there is buyer feedback.  I listed a few things a while back that I didn't really expect to get much interest, and didn't.  But I did just make my first BitMit purchase recently, so it seems to be growing slowly.

I ran into it earlier but didn't think much of it. I just don't feel as secure as buying from a site like that with BTC and especially for physical goods. All the virtual goods I could obtain from elsewhere. Granted there's not much buyer protection with BTC but I would prefer it be on a forum where I can read reviews.

I've put some objects ranging from coffee to hand made jewellery, phone and used camera but still nothing sell 
Probably the market in Italy/Europe is still too little for this service

Not that Walmart checkers are the pinnacle of appropriate comments.  I've been present when checkers asked questions like "are you hoping for a yes or a no?" (pregnancy test) and "are you going to burn down a building?" Fun stuff.

I think Bitmit should advertise its services or market its name alot more.  Word of mouth is good but at this point in time, it's slow.

I have a few xbox 360 games up, but have yet to sell anything yet.

I've bought quite a bit of stuff on there. Once per day, I'll pretty much scroll though all the recent listings until I get to the last one I've seen. A lot of things are overpriced, but occasionally there is something worth it.

Well for me, I ship on time and keep get back to customers asap. I have a good reputation from a number of review sites. Also I run a registered small business and have my own professional sales site, which can be seen here:

I essentially never have a problem with customers trusting me because of this I believe. We guarantee that our customers will be happy with their order, or we offer a full 100% refund. For smaller uses, it will simply take time to build up the trust with their buyers.

I send physical items certified mail in the US -- both confirmation of delivery and returned signed green postcard.  This protects both parties.  I believe this shows the buyers that the seller doesn't want to get screwed either.

For first time buyers, I send each gift card separately so I do not inadvertently forget to include one in the envelope or an untrustworthy buyer claims they didn't get all the cards.  Moreover, certified mail helps protect both buyer and seller from the post office!  Case in point:  I sent two certified items to a buyer and he only got one.  He is an example of a highly trusted and honest buyer because he released the bitcoins from escrow before receiving the 2nd card.  Anyway, I had to file a case to the USPS and the item was delivered next day after being overdue for three.  The next time I went to the same post office to deliver a gift card, a worker I've never seen before was exercising a deep tissue massage with my letter in a nervous manner.  I packed it much better this time to help disguise there was a card inside.  He asked me if it was only documents.  I said yes but was perplexed.  Usually they ask the standard question if there are any hazardous materials, fragile items, etc.  After pasting the green postcard on the letter, he goes into a second round of massaging the entire letter again!

There are stories on the internet with postal workers stealing gift cards from envelopes.  In general, postal workers can be trusted 100%.  It's the few bad apples that spoil the bunch.  These bad apples are looking for holiday and birthday cards as well because they often contain gift cards.  And when I bought a Walmart gift card, a cashier warned me never to send them by mail.  She had hers stolen.

Nice site- what steps have you gone to help people trust you?

Another happy BitMit buyer and seller here.

Site works great!

Bitmit works great. Some interesting info that the owner of Bitmit recently posted in a Reddit comment:

I'll have to look at that site again, I was afraid it wasn't getting traffic, like others here have said.

yes.

bought the DSi on amazon and realized I gave my R4 card to my ex's sister a couple years ago.
Has everything I got with it, stylus, charger, in pretty good condition.

I just started using it the other day. It's pretty easy to use and I really like it's features. I think it's more user friendly than fleabay even. Of course, the best part is being able to accept bitcoins!

We've sold a number of items on there. It definitely gets a decent amount of traffic. I really honestly also could see it becoming the eBay of bitcoins, really it already is, just not the traffic.

Only a fraction of our products are on there at the moment, but we plan on adding much more to help add some more items to the site.

Bitmit actually gets traffic? !


Awww I wish I'd put more faith into when I was started selling a bunch of stuff on ebay. Would of much rather of went for the bitcoin instead of usd.

I'm a big fan of BitMit and think it works pretty well.
