Selling physical items for bitcoins still seems to be a huge struggle. I've literally never sold anything. I try when I list things online to mention I accept bitcoins but I've never gotten a sale. Cryptocurrency enthusiasts are a bunch of hoarding penny-pinchers (myself included).

These days it is very hard to get products for bitcoin as we get from amazon or eBay. In my view a combined effort by a group of bitcoin enthusiasts make it a possible one. But one cannot get back the invested amount or profit in a short but as the bitcoin usage is getting increased regularly can have a assurance of getting back the profit.

The answer is pretty much NO to this question. There isn't anywhere near as good as Ebay to sell stuff. Or Amazon. And my take on it is that there's never going to be. Why? Because people do not like to spend bitcoin. Why would you, especially in a bull market like this? It makes absolutely no sense. So sell whatever it is you need to sell on Ebay, and use the cash proceeds to buy bitcoin. I don't see a better plan than that.

Is there anything like a working Ebay / Amazon for Bitcoin yet? Obviously not expecting anything that sophisticated, but at least a working p2p trading market, where there are a decent enough number of buyers/sellers to make things worthwhile?
I remember reading about OpenBazaar and maybe others, in the past, have any of these projects matured to the point that they are viable for conducting economic activity? What's the biggest stuff-for-Bitcoins market at the moment?
Done a few Google searches and not been overwhelmed with success at finding these opportunities. I haven't looked too deeply but a lot of what I found - http://spendbitcoins.com/ - for example, seems to mostly throw up links to non-Bitcoin retailers (maybe they have taken the payment option off their sites, but spendbitcoins hasn't updated). Or just downright bad information like this page http://www.bitcoineverything.net/how-to-buy-your-programs-and-tools-with-bitcoins/ which tells me that Amazon is happy to take my coins.

I've not seen any marketplaces online that accept Bitcoin and google searches seem to be useless.
For things like gift vouchers, I found this which should be fairly trusted (I think) and they claim to accept bitcoin.
Unless you look specifically for somewhere (as the main sites like Amazon and Ebay don't accept them) then they'll probably be difficult to find.
