Hey everyone - so much frustration with Ebay in this thread. Hopefully we can provide a better experience
We've just announced a beta release of our new Marketplace section.
https://coinster.info/marketplaceFeatures:
- post picture ads fast and free
- buy/sell globally
- buy/sell most anything
- escrow available
- 2% fee for sellers
- 1% optional escrow fee for buyers
- wanted ads section
- no other fees to buy or sell, ever
Real questions:
What protection is in place for both Buyers and Sellers?
Are you registered with the Better Business Bureau?
Licensed etc?
Anyone making a competing company to Ebay gets my attention and default support...just want to make sure we dont jump from the frying pan into the fire though..
Maybe you should make an original thread too (if you dont already have one)
Thanks for your support!
As to your questions, we believe strongly in a free market approach. Loosely speaking this means we allow good leeway for content and activity. Our aim isn't to be a Google version of Bitcoin, where we censor search results and store user/seller information to hand over and comply with government regulations. People looking for that should stick with Ebay/Paypal. We'd rather serve a global marketplace where users may interact directly.
That said, we believe in doing all we can to provide a safe and enjoyable user experience. We've been in the community since January 2013 (
original thread here). It is not necessary to process funds through Coinster. We provide a basic wallet and escrow service as a convenience. Our main offering is providing listings and a platform for users to connect. It's fine, for example, to post Sale ads and use
Bitrated.com to manage escrow (we actually have a similar multi-signature, independent escrow agent market in the concept stage).
