What do you think about proportional payouts to them from our 11% profit? Project is open source (code, media, promo, translations, bug fixes etc) so this business model allows it. Also we have simple and automatic payouts with BitCoin. So, why not?
One problem that we promised 0% up to 2016. But it's soon.
Other problem in the bitcoin fees and micro-payments. I believe it can be solved

Good news for contributors!
As said, I had plans make thanks to all people who believe in this project and make it better.
So now it provides 0% seller fees for all project contributors forever. It’s true, coz BitsyBay has been created as community marketplace for peoples not for owners. I'm a seller and core contributor. Now I get 100% profit from my sales in marketplace that created with my participation. All clear.
Cheers, team

Hi, and thanks you for backing and kind words guys!
@bitcoin1387, @likehiro working on our logo, sure it will be awesome
@likehiro, I highly recommend to make all contributions from GitHub account. Perhaps, this idea will be implemented.
Also we're looking for a new staff:
PR Manager, 100% of the profit (0.1 BTC) for each joined and verified seller.
Contact me here or PM shortly - it's a hot vacation. We need a regular offer updates!
BTW, already 3/5 verified sellers, 2 left. If you're a seller - don't miss the chance, it's free!

I have been looking at the site (and also updated 2 of my illustrations ) and I really think it's an awesome idea with a huge potential. I really believe that it could be a great opportunity for indie game developers, designers, illustrators and more professionals because of the easy way of selling digital content and also setting up your own shop (a great feature to add in the future could be to setup your own show with some customizable visual settings, I'll definitely include a link to that in my design thread in the forum!).
I really want this project to grow a lot in the future, of course I'll bookmark it and take a look regularly to check new updates

A few arguments why it's expensive:
1. The high prices discourage scams to try deceive us;
2. Verification processing requires a lot of time to check all information and proofs provided carefully;
3. We have some overhead for service development.
Maybe this expensive right now, I thought about that. But the other side, project should be evolvable until 2016 with 0% fees, not survive only
This is my opinion, the choice is yours!

New seller verification system launched!
The first five sellers get a free chance.

Thanks for the free verify. I've been sent the verification
BTW the verify cost isn't too expensive? I know the seller will earn btc from sell their skill/goods but it's not really too much? I think for beginning using half of your verify cost, just my opinion, i'm not force you

Good news:
Instant Payouts Released!
This upgrade allows you to instantly receive your profit every 5 minutes immediately after transaction confirmation.
I'm not too sure that an escrow system is possible this year, but it's a really good feature to improve marketing infrastructure.
That is absolutely important, I will join your website too but more importantly I wish you the best as you make progress.Instant Payouts Released!

Hi, melisande!
At this time I think about few ways:
1. Implemented. The classical verification by seller company, address, etc. For customers it looks like simple Verified label in the Product card.
2. Payment cancellation system and money refunding. In my opinion, this is a good suggestion for the customers but isn't for a sellers.
3. The 'Penalty Fund' - it's a new idea specially for the cryptocurrency services. For example, when purchased product has a low quality, customer have opportunity to cancel the payment, but funds will be transferred to the Project Fund. This variant makes 0% seller commission to forever and motivates to upload only hight-quality content. This idea need a focus on testing before jumping.
What is better in your opinion?

as you know at times you might not see what the seller advertised when you download the stuff.
Please, describe your question in detail. Not sure that I understand what do you mean. 
The site looks good and easy to navigate.
One suggestion though, I've gone through the FAQ section and would suggest that you get somebody to check the grammar and spelling on there. Not sure why but alarm bells always go off in my head when I see a site where the language and grammar is bad. Its not a train smash but it will help to make the site look more professional and create confidence in the site.
Best of luck, will keep an eye on the site

Nice project
Maybe add more content on your site, like some offer catagories.
And for some illustrations, and photos, my advice is use some watermark which people can't easy to stole the pic from overview product, because i see the product and i see the overview about the product is just show the pic of product, so for some photo or illustration product it possible to stolen.

Hi!
I'm newbie here and hope that my new project will be interesting
Bitsybay.com is an experimental minimalistic service to help you buy or sell digital creative with cryptocurrency like BitCoin. It includes marketplace for legal CMS extensions, illustrations, photos, themes and other creative assets from them authors.
It was made by and for creative peoples who love a freedom and looking to easy trading around the world.
I'm developer and I believe that liberty service should be accessible to its users: it's 100% open source licensed under the GNU GPL version 3.
If you know how to make this world better, fork us on GitHub and use this engine as your own BitCoin service.
Currently this project works in the Beta mode up to 2016 with 0% seller fees.
Thanks for feedback and your ideas!
