OP you aren't the first one who has that idea and to become popular and take your place in retail market, you need millions. It's very easy to buy nice theme on envato and then integrate crypto payment gateway, even kid can to that but there is another, the most important task, how you promote your business to get customers. Also imagine you have millions and did that, take your place among ebay, amazon, aliexpress and etc, you'll have serious issues from governments. Facebook created Libra and it's still under question what will happen around it, maybe Libra fail because seems USA doesn't like that and look at it like a danger for government.
To my mind it's better to make something similar of purse.

It's again one of those projects where the market is already too packed full of other options, alterations of those options, and spinoffs of those. I'll just name a couple other projects similar: Amazon, Ebay, Gumtree, Bitify, Openbazzar, Modultrade (icoed for 5+ million a couple of years back). There isn't enough room for more innovation to be made, and create another marketplace which will have enough users to make it worth it, your too late unfortunately.
I'm sorry to crush your dreams like this, but my views are reinforced by the fact that you lack funding and good development skills. I recommend trying to work with one of those marketplaces first and learning how they work before making your own platform, there's been a lot of stories of employees leaving and then creating a better version of the company they've worked for.
Good luck OP!

When people saying like there is impossible to do something new in the current situation/idea/business plan - just remember the simple example such as Binance crypto exchange which didn't create something new but definitely CZ beats other projects within 2 years after launching.
I agree but Binance also had a very good development team and funding for marketing. They had a very secure product as compared to other sites and almost zero verification policies. This was also the time Poloniex was going down due to multiple customer complaints. Opportunity + Solid Product + Money == Success.For now, all you have is an idea.
Yep, only idea.

Generally, even the idea does not look new or revolutionary
I think i've seen this idea at least thrice now here on this board alone.So what exactly is wrong with Openbazaar, and sites like https://bitify.com
Or rather; how are you going to be radically different from these sites, so much that your site will become a success?
spoiler alert: you aren't and can't. (Unless you have a very big amount of cash laying around to buy inventory & advertising.)
You'd have to have a really good business model to get on the level of openbazaar, let alone come close to Amazon. It's just almost impossible.

Want to say a big thanks to all for replies! it's positive and there are much info which I need to think about. Best of luck to all of you guys.

Look, sometimes you might be able to find someone who will help you develop your project for free, but I don't think this particular project is enticing enough for that.
If I was a developer and took a look at the websites you currently have, I'd be pretty wary to help you.
I mean look at this particular text on your cryptohermes.store website:
I know what you're trying to say, but the way it's presented is not all too great honestly.
Your first sentence is way too long and convoluted. You don't use any sort of punctuation to break it down.
Then there's the content, it reads as some sort of ideological pamphlet.
Work on your presentation first!

Planet Earth is very huge territory with many countries and regions in which payments with cryptocurrency is more usable if your country for example unable to get foreign payments or transactions with some system ain't supported on your territory - cryptocurrency is a way out because of their decentralization nature! And as we are thinking, simple people mustn't be engaged into the political confusion.
Also one more good idea to sell something - it's investing into cryptocurrency! You can sell everything you want, get your cryptocurrency from deal - then start trade or just hold for future gain:)

@OP
Perhaps you can start to develop something yourself with Wordpress or another open-source script, an eCommerce theme, etc...?
After some months, pay someone for development when you need. Don't need to be big the day 1, you can build your site step by step as time pass.
Unfortunately, you will hardly find someone working for free, unless he's looking to build a portfolio because he just starts his 'career'. I got help a few times like this over the years but it's rare.

I’ve seen several projects related to yours that had conducted ICOs already. Buy and sell your products for crypto. They also can sell their own made products or their used items for crypto. I like the idea, you know, people may not always have money but some have crypto and they want items but cannot buy due to lack of money but with this they have the options with which to pay.

You want some developers to work for you for free, looks like a great idea.
Website design is poor, I do not think you have enough funding, so you will not be able to compete with Amazon.
If you want the site to act as an intermediary it is easy to design but it is difficult to gain trust and promote the app/site.
Generally, even the idea does not look new or revolutionary

I see the main idea of your project is similar with current IEO project BIZpaye, that is a project which is a marketplace and the crypto is used inside the platform for payment tools by every parties involved such as merchant, buyers, etc.

what does consalting means? at first, i thought you got a typo but seeing it was typed twice on different paragraph i'm started to believe that it means something.
either that or you need to fix your typos.

I like crypto and believe in it but nobody serious will develop a such project for free. Every job should be paid since people need money for food, bills, rental etc. How you imagine that coder will work everyday on your project without salary? If you are fan of your business then get loan in a bank and pay for development of your future «success» business.

So, the main idea is creating platform where people can buy and sell their goods (not drugs, clear web only 
), handmades or any other (legal) items for cryptocurrency only. In future would be awesome to create mobile apps. The main help should be in code. We need people who are really like cryptos and trust in. For first time before launching project salary is unavailable and if you need exactly profit, instead of working for idea, just leave this topic. But if you can help us please contact team at https://bitconsul.io website, you can find there e-mail and telegram links.
PS. Presentation of project/idea (not cool, but it's exist anyway) you can find here: https://cryptohermes.store (name we can change in future, no problem).
Best Regards, hope to read here some feedbacks or contacts. Also any thoughts is good to see too.
