Hmmmm.. I think there is a section here to buy and sell goods for btc?
"OpenBazar is not ready yet, let's start a new project, which does the exact same thing"
Did I get the basic message right?

Just like there is web wallets, there will be web versions of openbazaar. Simple and easy for everyone and those who want to run there own market will have the choice.

No market based on bitcoin is gonna work the only reason illegal services are at all viable with bitcoin is because of artificially high demand. People are willing to go through all the stupid bullshit to get some bitcoin to buy some Oxycontin but not for printer ink.
The problems are structural with bitcoin mostly it is not a currency, it has no market price which violates the regression theorem which means its not money and you cant base a marketplace on it. It would be like basing a marketplace on rare paintings.
Over time as more people start to use the price of bitcoin will start to be more stable which will take care of this issue The problems are structural with bitcoin mostly it is not a currency, it has no market price which violates the regression theorem which means its not money and you cant base a marketplace on it. It would be like basing a marketplace on rare paintings.
Sounds awesome. Hopefully it puts ebay out of business! 
Why should ebay be out of business? Did they scam you?
This one got his grudge over ebay

When the official version Open Bazaar come out, it will hit the market. The first e-commence system is implementing decentralized concept paying by bitcoin. It will save a lot of fees for the buyers and sellers. Every one who know about cryptocurrency will rush to try their service.
I think a lot of people will rush to use it once it "officially" launches however I also think that a lot of people will rush to try to scam users which will at least result in a lot of "failed" transactions and a more likely scenario is that a lot of people will succeed in scamming and people will not want to use it after a short time 
Brace yourselves! Winter is coming!
After Ethereum goes live.... we all will have a brighter future.
HODL.

the trick will be to implement a JS multi-sig wallet so that the site itself never handles users funds and escrow is done with the multi-sig by the users themselves, in fact the multi sig wallet generated and signed by the participants should be temporary wallets that will unlock and forward the funds directly to the merchants personal secure wallet solution of choice, after the required n of m signateurs fulfill the contract, implemented is a straightforward easy way for users.
Multisig is not the panacea everybody is making it out to be.giving buyers the ability to only unlock funds once the product arrives + a merchant reputation system, would make P2P commerce online posible.
maybe the site could be the part of every contract and act as aribtor in case of disputes, a fee would be charged when the the aribtor is required, thats where the site would make its money
Multi Sig sounds promising
we need to play with it and see what we can achieve.
While we are waiting for open bazaar I think there is cryptothrift.com not exactly what you are looking for, but kind of.
Why do we have to install anything for OpenBazaar if we're on a desktop, Linux or Windows?
Decentralized. Think it through.

I don't have to install anything to launch eBay, I just load up a website and I'm buying and selling.
Unless OpenBazaar follows a similar design, it's doomed to fail. Need to make it more for the masses, not just a niche crowd.

Patience... how long is that going to take?!
It's cool, I'm just really wanting to see something happen soon. Many ideas, and I need a place for them.

I couldn't agree more. I run/am building a few Bitcoin-based businesses and would love to see more opportunities to reach customers. Open Bazaar was just... bizarre. I like what they're doing with it, but it'll never expand to the critical mass that it needs due to the amount of technical work that needs to go into it. One truth about anything web-based - if you make it too hard to use, people won't use it.
It's currently in beta. There will be a Windows install package in due course.Open Bazaar really does tick all the boxes. Soon, people, soon.
If there was one that relies solely on bitcoin and nothing else as payment mode, that would be great
