Clean, easy to use. Needs a better directory, or categories of what is available. After 48 hours of tinkering, I like it. Adding an auction feature would definitely start cutting into eBay/PayPal's monopoly.
We have created a listing offering escrow/mediation service. Just search for CoinPro under listings. We will rebate the .0015 to the first 20 users that leave positive feedback.

I can't remember having agreed on something you have said, but this time I do agree with you. I don't see much special things that will bring us something refreshing. I think it will get hyped up at the very beginning, and end up being left aside after 6 months.
It's a few days old. Of course it's going to be a long way from being match fit. The incentive is there to improve it. Let's see what everyone comes up with before giving up.
I don't give up, but I look at things from a realistic point of view. Especially when it comes to certain things that got hyped up a lot. Remember Gemini? The great "Nasdaq" of Bitcoin for institutional investors. It's nothing more than a few traders exchange nowadays. But yes, let's give it some time, you are right.
To me, the launch was entirely unimpressive. I don't know there's potential of the numerous issues to be fixed because there are just too many. Definitely not worth the hype it received and although I'm a fan of the core idea, the implementation seems disastrous. Decentralization sounds nice in theory, but openbazaar, as it stands today, is inferior to eBay by a great margin.

OB offers very little privacy and nothing that offers a trustworthy transaction.
I can't really see it go anywhere without those basic features.

I would classify it as a soft opening and not a Grand Opening
Just wondering, where is the administrators of OpenBazaar? Are they all here using BitcoinTalk as well or are some not present here? I wanted to ask what they're going to do about actually broadcasting their new service and webpage.
It is encouraging that they are open.
Tor would be important for me.
- only the first step in this process, and the software has some limitations
- Search in OpenBazaar is limited to querying the network for listings tagged with keywords that Vendors have assigned
- OpenBazaar users don’t have their IP addresses obfuscated
- All traffic between OpenBazaar nodes is encrypted, so that others cannot see the details of transactions. This includes an end-to-end encrypted chat. Data is only seen by the parties directly involved in the trade
- working on support for IPv6, Tor, and I2P connections
Tor would be important for me.

Bad advice! Sorry to point it out, but Windows is the most successful OS on the planet by far, so if OB wants to be successful as well, it needs to work perfectly on Windows. Pleasing Windows users is more important than pleasing Mac users.

No it isn't. Using Windows for almost anything is unwise for all sorts of other reasons, too many to list, and those reasons are unlikely ever to change not in Microsoft's interest). Window's dominance of the market is not what I would call a success, and comments like only serve to continue the entrenchment.

If it matters, less than 2% of laptops/desktops use Linux (so ~1 in 100 computers runs Ubuntu).

But let's agree to disagree, if ignoring ~90% of potential userbase to minimize the market share is the objective, OB should focus on stable CP/M implementations.
I tried, but it didn't work... But I've just launched it, and I'm pleased to see that OB is working today. But I haven't understood why it wasn't working yesterday. Hey, if I want to use OB for business, I need 100% reliability.
Try using Linux or Mac, Windows (and the way the other apps you have installed on your PC manifest themselves with Windows) is likely making any early problems with OB much worse than they really are. Microsoft have always had a bad record with supervising different bits of software to play nice with one another.

We was all waiting for this moment since years , what is your first impression on this when you tested it ? Can we really beat eBay ?
You guys started selling your goods ? I personally didn't start ... yet .

yes i already started to sell items and i even sold them all, well for me it looks like great site, ebay copy just with bitcoins, and i very like for that that it is made for bitcoins users, this will attract more people that will sue bitcoins for sure, i hope there will be even more sites like this in future

my first impression is pretty good, on first week there are lots of sellers already, and they sell lots of different stuff, same like in ebay, so i really think that it can beat it it just will take time, i hope that this site won't close, and i also hope that there will be more and more sellers
I googled "Accepts Bitcoin" and didn't find openbazàar. The other user is correct. Advertising is the very next step. If people don't know of your business, it will not succeed.
I think it needs some stuff ironed out as does Bitcoin itself before it's pushed towards the wider world. Right now I think it's best if it remains in the hands of the believers.
I installed it today (well, this account was created here too). Very good impression on the first glance. Will be listing a bunch of used items I had to take down from eBay because of ridiculous fees. Still can't figure out how to create backup. Anyone knows?
too fast to think to beat ebay, much still needs to be addressed

SEO optimization took a quite long time,it'll probably still being optimized right now,although google adwords is really effective way for advertising,should try it outMaybe we should crowdfund some advertising, buy some google ads?
We can go to the /services/ sub & commission somebody to raise funds (they could keep 10% for their services), that way it'll cost us nothing.
Isn't that how decentralized stuff works?
actually I didn't sell anything yet, but I think openbazaar is one of good way in business. we can get good opportunity to earn extra money.
