Topic: [Open for Beta] Earn Bitcoin by selling your digital creation (Read 5870 times)

i am interested to use it. is there an escrow service implemented or do i need to call one for every single transaction?

I can't open the site too, it says' that Application Error
"An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments.
If you are the application owner, check your logs for details"

The website no longer works. Anyone know what's up?

Well, this is awkward/
This comment of mine was accidentaly posted here. I thought i was at a different thread at the time.
preview files and .zip files that i uploaded here, did so without a hitch.

Thanks again and sorry for the confusion.

Hi okaynow,

I'm sorry about that, were you getting any error messages? Would be helpful if you mind sharing the image size or details of the image that you attempted to upload.

Which part of the country are you referring to? Coinbounce is mainly aimed at selling digital content. The content that you sell should ideally be something that can be downloaded instantly upon payment.

Thank you!


Hi Eternity
Good call, we really should. that should make our store front much more easily browsable! Thanks for the comment!


Hi [Suspicious link removed],
Thanks for giving Coinbounce a go!
Were you trying to upload jpg/png as the file that you are selling or as the cover photo?
We weren't thinking that most people would be selling image file though..
How large is the video size? Just getting some survey so we know what we can do next.

Agree, and that's the very reason why Bitcoin or any digital currency is awesome!

Hi Redrocket2
Anything that is downloadable. Please avoid 'bad' content

Interesting Do you plan to allow all kind of stuff to be sold there?

coinbounce is awesome I just found it
I couldn't upload a jpg or png to represent my product
and I can't wait til I can upload a large video file
I sell videos
It seems like you guys are really working on it
and I haven't read this whole thread
but

more options to group various files (like bandcamp)
allow large files for video makers
graphical variations for merchants who prefer to design their own storefronts

these are the big limitations I see

if coinbounce and gumroad would merge I'd crap my pants, but then I'd probably cry because FUCK USD, that shit is going downhill fast!

and who the fuck wants to give away all their personal info when they are buying and selling shit online?
even if I'm not selling puppy porn, I don't want to give SQUARE my social security number.

plus, taxation without representation is also a COST that is unnecessary.
alright, I'll save the ideological ranting for a different url, but srsly folks:

streamlining the purchasing experience is frikkin TIGHT and it's more likely the customers will do it if they aren't afraid.

good job coinbase.
good job coinbounce.
I can't wait to sell my videos for bitcoin.

ps, I do not nor have I ever sold or watched puppy porn.
pps, I use coinbounce as Casey Wright currently.

This is another very helpful idea.
Another thing, sellers have to list products in $US only.
Do you think you could turn to BTC as a base price, or add more currencies, like Eur or Gbp?


Also, i had to upload a profile image more than 5-6 times, tried both firefox/chrome.
It was uploading the image i was picking, but was adding as image at my profile the last product listed at the time.
I enlarged the image, and it did accept it as profile image. Maybe there are image size restrictions?

Also, when a seller picks a country, is that country supposed to be the sellers' base
from where items are mailed or the sellers' market, where items are sold?

This is a great idea, but you should add categories!

Hi @C. Bergmann, would like to thank you for trying out Coinbounce & your feedbacks!
- We are starting out with this fee amount for now and will continue to re-evaluate over time.
- Right with the new pay button that launches the wallet, it might be high time we look into that and see how we can incorporate that
- It can be troublesome. We need buyers' e-mail address as a fallback. As we use that to send order receipt and download link if they were to close/exit the site by accident.

some critics:
- fees are too high.
- there is no direct "buy"-button. Just a "pay with coinbase". Why you don't integrate the typical "buy" Button which launches the standard-bitcoin-wallet?
- why do people need to give you the email-adress to open a download-link? It makes payment unneccesary complicated

We are adding the marketplace feature to Coinbounce which would allow buyers to shop for products and help to increase exposure for sellers in the Bitcoin microcommerce space.

Hope this would be helpful to both buyers and sellers in the Bitcoin market.

Check it out at https://www.coinbounce.com/marketplace

@blajde We are finalizing a few stuff on that feature, something should come out in a week or so.


Sounds good! We would be more than happy to help.

ok, i'll go with that and i'll come back to you if any issues arise.
Thank you for a prompt reply.

When will we be able to browse and see more than 5 random items?

Hi @okaynow! Thanks for your interest in using Coinbounce.

- Yes, you can zip the .pdf files in its entirety and upload them.
- Right now, because we support a wide variety of files, we have not added any file preview support. However, we did get some feature request regarding music/image preview and this will only lead us to push this at a higher priority.
- However, what you can do is upload the .png file as the cover photo. Perhaps something like a promotional photo for that? Let us know if that is a viable option?

- Yes, .pdf upload is perfect!
- If you would like to sell a bunch of pdf at a time, you would still need to zip them.

Hope that clear things up, and do let us know if you have got any other questions or concerns?

Cheers!

@coinbase, i am about to start uploading some vector images, and i noticed your answer to someone else here, on posting .psd files.
I am going to zip any vector images, but can i upload a .png or an image file for preview by anyone interested?

And on a second issue, can i upload .pdf files? i am preparing some calendars, and a hiking guide, in the form of ebooks.

sorry to ask in advance, i would rather e sure about any steps needed from my end.

Thank you.

Hi @leckey, buyers do not actually need to login in order to purchase.
Is that the non-public URL that they clicked? The public URL should not have a "/users" in it.
If that's the case, we would need to work on something in order to make that clearer.

+1

Also, if I give someone the link to a product I've added, and they click the link... rather than actually seeing any product details, they get a login screen? That'd be a big turn-off for prospective buyers I think.

Welcome! Good to know @okaynow! Do let us know if you come across any problem, or have any questions on uploading your work!


Good take, we didn't think that would be part of the use case. In any case, you can always present an image that is slightly different than the original image that you put on sale. Could be a promotional image or something.



@hungpham, with the huge request for this, i can safely say that we are working on one. Hang in there!
