Don't know when but this domain was on sale few weeks ago
And site is still lacking many things. Is it under construction ?

It's impossible because developers are still working on the project and it's not abandoned , maybe you saw something similar to it (.tk or .biz or those kind of low quality domains) .
and for the website ,everything looks fine . To start using OpenBazaar you need to download an application and not the website afaik

I think you are right. Found this : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/openbazaar-630518
They seems to be working on this project from last 2 years now

Even if the service is decentralized, they can still be shut down if the team of developers are targeted by law suites. < Brian Hoffman > OpenBazaar has the potential to turn into another Silkroad and the authorities will look for someone to be the scapegoat. Amir Taaki and his team should create something like this anonymously and push it onto the internet as was done by Satoshi Nakamoto with the Bitcoin protocol. If there are no head to be chopped off, the decentralized service would survive, but I doubt if this will succeed.

Unfortunately your right in terms of OB chance of getting shut down in the future if it turns out to be Silkroad 2.0 as well. I don't think it will be possible to make it anonymously ones its on the internet as sooner or later, criminals will find about it as well so best way I think is to acquire 24/7 moderators in which will ban or delete such sales the moment someone connects or open OB software on their computers.

Do we need to download a software for this marketplace to work? Sounds kinda fishy to me. Why isn't it just an online service for us to conduct business? And how does OpenBazaar make money if there are absolutely no fees involved?

You need to have their software open and running if you are a seller - only then people will see your offer. If you want to buy, there is no need to run anything from your side.
It is not online service because whole process is decentralized, there is no central entity, server or management over trades.

it's a non-profit and open-source project. and the ones who's selling/buying/escrowing stuff isn't them but the users. they get profit from their OB1 project that will offer some services related to OpenBazaar (still can't find anything about what those services are).
