Topic: Why are you not selling stuff on Bitcoin Classifieds? (Read 5458 times)
When the site was up...was it very useful? Meaning did people actually have an easy time finding buyers for their goods?
The site was down for me but if someone makes a good classified service might be tempted to use it
Will need to check it later
Will need to check it later
I may add the ability to have people post up their own stuff for auction here:

But I havent decided yet.. because its hard to secure sellers amd buyers without issues.
That's true developing a good reputation system takes time and testing
Anyways it's a neat idea though and thanks for sharing.

I would want but at this moment the site is down.
Thanks for the update. Sad to see another old (in bitcoin world) business shutting down.
Not simple if the victim can't trust the escrow operator with their life.
I have made Quarkslist - a craigslist with Quark - that isn't public yet. But what do you think about having an escrow that doesn't necessarily need a third person? http://quarkescrow.site11.com/
Thats pretty sweet, so its an all in one escrow agent from start to finish? WOuld be interesting to see it in action.

Hehe nice way of aggressive advertising without being spammy 
IDK who knew who really ran bitmit; same can be said for any other site, since it's not like they're bonded.
Yea I just sum it up as the cost of doing business.. but slowly customers come that see value.

Yes but thats to grow over time as the user base grows, trust is key to any sort of business that may run off with some sort of colateral... your transferring the risk from the anonymous customer to a known entity and it is common for all users... people are usually more comfortable in a herd.

The site looks cool. But there must be a feature like, if someone order anything from classifieds, the funds must go to escrow, and then once the seller fulfill, it gets released, so that 0% scam .
. Im pretty sure it has escrow built in otherwise op should probably update his wordpress template to the latest classified theme version. You transfer in btc and the seller is shipped the good.. funds are released manually
by admin.
As we saw in the final days of Bitmit, escrow was still scammed so badly, that it took the scammer to execute the refund.
You don't need escrow if you are doing a face to face transaction, like BC is structured for.

No refunds on used goods.. wysiwyg.
If person recieves something else then money is not released.. simple?

Im planning to start somethinf similar but to sell goods via auctions and funded by devcoin profit to devcoin model... Would be interesting to maybe collaborate.
Has anyone successfully sold on here? Really considering listing some of our stock but am still trying to convince myself (and my colleagues) that it'd be worth it.
Dozens of views, zeroes of sales.
Yup, that is what I am seeing so far.

Just posted on a shirt on there just to see if the site is still active.
I think you should remove items that are old/stale.

As soon as I saw a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy DVD for the equivalent of ~$60, I knew the site was probably not updated for a while... That or whoever's selling it is smoking some good weed.
And yes, I did see that the price was meant to be a donation, but still.
Got that idea from NPR ("donate $$$$$ and get this $ gift"); they smoke all the weeds for me.

Well, at that time, btc price was very low. And the poster replied in btc, He should have been posted in usd. That would be cool.
But its over 6 months old, and it should have been pruned. Maybe the seller should be emailed and asked if he would like to keep his add up? I'm sure that the website is struggling to gain popularity, so they aren't going to take down any items unless they are sold. It hurts the "experience" if you are looking at items that have unrealistic prices due to being old. They have probably been sold elsewhere by now.

so do I need a PGP key for bitcoinclassifieds? if so are there any instructions how to get and use it?
No. I just put my PGP everywhere because I'm a freak.

Google site:bitcoinclassifieds.net city, state/country and it will find user locations. The internal search engine only scans ad contents.
Yes, there is a simple feedback system, just look at people's profiles...
I've signed my username http://www.bitcoinclassifieds.net/profile/4541/ with my PGP key tied to my rep elsewhere.
I wish the site were more localized, because the best way to dispense with escrow and the scam Bitmit turned into, is not even need a third party for F2F sales.

I have a high fear of scamsters... Thats honestly the only reason why.
If we could tie things like reputation related accounts (forums?/OTC/Bitcoin trading sites/paypal/LR/dwolla/bank accounts) with easy visability/access to rep info then I would feel much more comfortable setting up a bunch of Stuff for sale because I could quickly click on a user, goto some "rep" page, and see all the information the user has provided inregards to his reputation

is there any sort of reputation system?
any plans to try to pick up where bitmit left off? we really need a new bitmit and coingig is buggy.

No fees, which is why I am posting there.
Looks pretty neat. Something we will defintiely consider after the December rush.
Your site looks awesome 
Do you charge any fees?

Just started putting my inventory on there. Figured I'd bump this topic, since I've seen posts about the site since 2011.
Because I see no provision for me to sell digital goods and I am not sure how to tell which physical items of mine will sell (e.g 2 120mm silent case fans for media centre like PCs/low noise pc) because I see no way of gauging interest for which things of mine will sell.
^^ +1 Plus Bitcoinclassifieds is really slick looking!
Cheers man
Bitcoin has the advantage over Amazon and Ebay because you pay almost no fees to send bitcoin.
If bitcoin will succeed, it will be in the online used goods market.
If we list more stuff, eventually there will be stuff people actually want to buy on the site. People would actually use bitcoins to buy stuff, which would make bitcoin not just a digital speculative game but a real competitive currency

Just created a post under "Collectibles and Art", though I wonder if you might have a more appropriate category or could make one for Precious Metals / Bullion
