Hey SFR10, thanks for the feedback!

I'm not a fan of the current sign-in options
yup, we will be adding sign in with custom email. LNURL-auth looks interesting, we will look into that as well.

Do they have to ship returned products to your warehouse or the seller?
when a return is requested, an address from the seller will be used for the return.

Quote
What happens in cases where the seller receives their product, but forgets to confirm their satisfaction?
i guess you meant buyer forget to confirm their satisfaction? in this case, fund will be released to seller in 7 days automatically. basically we give 7 days of dispute window.

Quote
Based on the shipping & return fields of the listed products, it appears that this is only limited to the US. Am I right?
yes and no, so far all the sellers in the marketplace only ship to U.S. But there could be seller coming from other countries like Italy, support shipping within the EU. There could be case that seller support international shipping too. We don't have limit on which country seller can ship their products to.

we will support Bitcoin very soon!

I hope i have answered all your questions. Cheesy

I don't want you to lose your optimism, but eBay will consider crypto payments soon. Thus, your market will lose immediately. As VOD said, many tried before and failed. The crypto market isn't a safe investment due to the nature of crypto itself. The only real deals that can be made on your market are those with similarity to the crypto concept, such as scripts, Games, AI tools, and non-physicals in general. However, many sites have already started and are still running. Good luck to you, bro.

Crypto is irreversible.  Your site will be overrun with scammers without a reputation or trust system.   

A couple people try something like this every year.   It's not hard to build a crypto marketplace, it's dealing with the bad actors.

Hi everyone!

I began my crypto journey in 2020. Over the past four years, I've often wondered: why can't we buy goods with cryptocurrency as easily as we shop on eBay? Isn't cryptocurrency supposed to function as a medium of exchange?

After seeing multiple forum posts echoing my thoughts, I decided to take action. As a developer, I've built a marketplace(forestmarket.net) with one clear goal: to provide a reliable platform where users can buy and sell goods with crypto. I believe that when you make something truly for yourself, you're likely creating something valuable for others too.

As of today, you can:
1. buy anything in the marketplace with crypto
2. sell any legal item and get paid in crypto
3. return products if you're unsatisfied and receive a full refund in crypto

We're still actively developing the platform, so we'd greatly appreciate any feedback and support.
