Topic: (IDEA) BitBay - eBay for BitCoins (Read 7182 times)
^The auction page is almost identical to ebay. On the home page I intentionally left off some features, like categories, because categories arent useful until you have 100+ active auctions. But I will be making some changes in the next few days.
heres my auction site: http://bitcoinhop.com/index.php
-Clean layout
-Buyer protection
-Free auction listings

THEY SPEAK ENGLISH IN WHAT???

I think Bidding Pond is more than awesome! What are you guys crying about? That its green? or that it isn't called something similar to ebay?
Hi there I'm working on a project somehow similar to BitBay called:
http://bitcoinaction.com/
We want to collect 1000 email in 30days of people interested to get Bitcoin deals similar to Groupon. If you like the idea please leave your mail, if you don't please tell me why
I think having a critical mass (aka lobbying) could be critical when it comes to convince business to accept BTCs.

Anyone who wants to beta test my new bitcoin auction site before it launches tomorrow, send me a message.
I would like to launch the site with a few items for sale.

Damn you stole my though, even though u came up with it first xD
But yeh it doesnt look great maybe you could be a great help to our idea?
I'd love this to be a shared "BitCompany" as the more people the more ideas thought too many cooks do spoil the brough and yeh the design has some serious ass flaws in bidding pond but its still working quite nicely, just a few little issues to cover

If you have the money, I highly recommend putting a project up on 99designs if you care about the look & feel of the site.
Projects start at ~$500, and unfortunately they don't accept bitcoins yet =)
If someone needs a coupon I can problem get them $80 off, I know I had one laying around just send me a pm and bug me and I'll get it for you!

I have to admit, I don't really like the design of BiddingPond, either.
The most disturbing elements (to me) are the colors and the logo.
Sometimes it's a positive sign, for a website, to be able to survive despite a not-so-pleasing design The most disturbing elements (to me) are the colors and the logo.

And here is a user testimonial : I have used your site a while ago, I don't remember encountering usability or functionality issues, but I definitely remember that your design striked me as being pretty unpleasant. And it's a well known fact that the user perception is never rational and objective, it's influenced by purely subjective factors such as color, layout etc.
So maybe instead of "demanding documentation" and feeling threatened you should use this opportunity to improve and gather user feedback in a friendlier way.
Just my 2 bitcents, take care

I think what the Bidding Pond user is mad about is less the claims that the site's UI isn't entirely pleasant, but Charlie's claim that many users were unsatisfied with the site's service. There's a big difference between the two and I can see why he/she/it would definitely want to request documentation, both to get to the bottom of any potential problems and to protect the site from unfounded but potentially damaging rumors.
Stating that your user experience with someone's site was less than idea is totally fine. Stating that many people were unsatisfied with and have complained about a site's service, without the ability to back up this assertion, isn't.
This is correct. We do not feel threatened as we believe in fast, efficient customer support and excellent customer service. We know the site needs a redesign but, unfortunately, we do not have a dedicated graphic designer in our small team. What we are concerned with, as is stated eloquently by InternetPseudonym is potential problems and their solutions and to point out unfounded, damaging rumors.
This will be our last post in this thread as It is felt by our team we have made adequate statements on our position. We also welcome you to the community and enjoy competition as is makes our team work harder.
Black is the new black.

I literally have a site with the exact same name/function its been under dev for a while and should be up in a few days,
well i guess its a pretty obvious idea so lots of people are going to have it.

Just a (hopefully constructive) comment : you don't really see black backgrounds like that on well designed websites anymore, and in this specific case it's even likely that it's not going to fit at all, for a simple reason, it's not the best color to present auctioned items. Even more knowing that most of the times the items are shot with a clear/white background.
Black would be perfect for an web browser sci-fi game, I would not choose it for an auction site/web shop.

I perfectly understand, and would probably react the same way. I also completely agree with you, but taking offense and reacting like that when a ~50 posts user pokes them with an obvious unfounded claim/troll is IMO way more damaging than just plain ignoring the comment, isn't it ?Stating that your user experience with someone's site was less than idea is totally fine.

Thank you for your input. We politely ask that you do not quote us on things we have not said. If you feel like you can contribute more to our success please feel to contact us at [email protected]
I politely point out that when I quote someone, the quote is enclosed in quote tags.BiddingPond aggressively pursues those who wish to tarnish our pristine reputation.
Wow you're much better at corporate talk than graphic design. This is not about your reputation, not at all, it's about your incredible ability to remind me of times where comic sans ms and blink tags were still ok.Take care, drop the corporate talk, and relax (seriously)
I have been working on an auction site for about 2 weeks. I will be launching it either tomorrow or Thursday. It has a very clean design and it protects the buyers/sellers from getting scammed.
More details to come tomorrow.
