what happens if the buyer claims the product was broken or the box shipped was empty?
Does the seller not get his money?

This will be handled on a case by case basis. There is no perfect solution.

Have you thought about putting in some Affiliate ads, might earn a few xtra pennies for you.
There are loads of affiliate sites out there.

Also if you use an ad rotator, you can rotate Banners,.

Tradedoubler offer ad rotaion facilities.

I might put up ads in the future to help cover costs. Is tradedoubler better than Google Adsense?

google adsense is better Wink

If you click Buy Now, you will be sent an email with a bitcoin address to send the bitcoins to. Once your bitcoins are confirmed, the seller is automatically notified by email to ship your item.

I love the site... it gives a chance for a fairly new bitcoin user to get involved. However, I sent an email, and perhaps a bit of policy explanation would help. If you want to click buy it now, what is the exact process? Do you give us an address to send it to? If so how long is there to send it?

hi yesterday,

now that one of my auctions has a bid, i can say i love the site! I would like to request the addition of modern console video games (eg, add Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, etc.) to the Gaming category.

It would also be useful to have a category for gift cards.

I tried to send these requests in through the site, but when I go to the "Contact us" page I can't send a message. All I see are the "Message" box and the box to enter the code in. When I press Send Message I get this error:

The operation could not be performed because one or more error(s) occurred.

Please resubmit the form after making the following changes:

The "Email Address" field cannot be empty
The "Email Address" field must contain a valid email address

I've tried this with a couple browsers (firefox, ie) and don't see the Email Address field on either of them. I just tried it on my mobile phone too and even there I just see the Message and code box.

Someone asked for an option to see items which ship to your country. I just made this the default setting. So now by default (when logged in), you will only see items being sold in your country and items which are shipped worldwide to your country. There will also be a button to see all items from all countries.

Could just simply have users signing up for your site, be able to list their ebay username and just leave it up to the people wanting to buy their products, go verify them on ebay. Next to their reviews on BitcoinHop you could have a link that goes right to their user account on eBay. Here again, don't know if ebay could do anything against you for doing that though.

Just a second thought.

hey yesterday,

It would be real nice if you could somehow verify a new user's reviews through their ebay user account. In other words, someone could see what the seller's reviews were on ebay at the time he signed up for BitcoinHop. Their ebay username and reviews are public info but it's that communication through ebay you need to be able to do in order to confirm that it really is them. Not sure how you could legally get around that. Could some how do it to just kick start your site and when ebay frowns upon it, then you could stop doing it and hopefully by then you will be established with your users having a good number of reviews.

Just my 2 cents.

We really need a huge ebay and amazon bitcoin like sites going for the bitcoin. At least to help balance out the illegal drugs selling and stuff. That way the feds can't blame the bitcoin for being used just for drugs.

That and I really like to get out of the US dollar...

@zer0 - I understand. I might have to add a terms and conditions checkbox on the signup page.

Well, I bid and won a tshirt, yippee.

Now I'm just waiting for the status to change from unpaid to paid since I paid this morning and it has like 20 confirmations now. Is the "status" of payments handled manually?

You can ignore that. That section is for the seller to confirm he received the payment (which is not even relevant). Im going to replace that very soon with the actual payment status.

But your payment has been received.

If the buyer claims he never received the item and the seller doesnt have proof of shipment (tracking number, delivery confirmation) then the bitcoins are returned to the buyer.

You'll have other problems. What if somebody ships something else that wasn't bought? A scam buyer could claim product was defective, get their money back. A scam seller could just show tracking# and claim legit goods sent. This is probably eBay's and Paypal's biggest problem, when I worked for them ages ago that was their most frequent complaint.. seems every cellphone dealer was shipping used/scratched and claiming new

Also problem with escrow is you sell your Ipad when the value is 23BTC per USD, then it drops down to 14BTC by the time you get escrow and you gave it away

Not to shit on your site because BTC auctions sites are FTW.. but if I was an evil competitor I could buy somebody else's stuff under different accounts and then claim all sorts of bullshit against them like received not as described ect. to ruin their rating. Another eBay tactic usually used by rival guitar sellers on each other. Should get a contingency plan in case you receive legal threats for 'defamation' from some crazy seller who got a bad rating as well
