BazaarBay only indexes 1.0 stores. They are going to update to 2.0 later on. But yes many original vendors have parted ways since 1.0 was rather simplistic and required 24/7 online store to make sales. So we pretty much have a new regime of sellers listing stuff.
The only ongoing issue we are having is if you had an early 2.0 RC store and it updated a few times the database files can get messed up. Requiring a clean reinstall. That's why you only should hold a limited amount of funds in your wallet and backup the info.
If you want to see OB 2.0 stores on the web check out Mubiz, which has a limited number of OB vendors (ones who signed up on Mubiz).

I don't think there is a usability issue, It's more like people don't want to take the extra effort to deal on decentralized platforms (whether It's exchanges or anything else). I usually check BazaarBay.org/stats/ and I have to say that there are no improvements when it comes to the number of vendors, online nodes etc. What I think would help is that when someone wants to sell something, he should list it on OpenBazaar and refer people to it If they want to buy.
I love that app. It's still early stages of development but they improved it greatly. Soon we will have url address Dot Bit, Android App, Full Tor support and Multi-Wallet.
I sold a 120mm computer fan for $10 in BCH. Only had the store up for like 4 Days or so. Once we get another big update we are soaring to the moon. Maybe not going to beat eBay anytime soon, but going to put a financial hurting on Etsy/Storenvy/Bonanza/DeviantArt.
I run both BTC and BCH stores on there. Both with Verified Moderators.
Anyone else give OpenBazaar a shot? Maybe come back after this big update if you hated v1.0?
