Greetings LitecoinTalk,
I’m the lead developer behind BazaarBay, and it’s now live. The idea is simple: an all-in-one crypto-native marketplace with an eBay-style catalog — digital goods, freelance services, and physical products — built for people who’d rather transact in crypto.
What you can do on BazaarBay
- Buy and sell across categories — digital goods, services, and physical items in one place
- Pay in crypto — currently accepting BTC, LTC, BCH, and DASH
Trust levels
Every vendor and buyer earns a reputation score based on completed orders and weighted reviews, with penalties for lost disputes and cancellations. Scores map to five public levels:
| Level |
|---|
| Newcomer |
| Verified |
| Trusted |
| Established |
| Elite |
The goal is that you can see at a glance who has a track record and who’s brand new.
Fees — up front
- Transaction fee: 2.5% on completed orders
- Optional boosted listings for vendors who want more visibility
How escrow works
- Buyer pays an escrow invoice**.** Funds go to an escrow destination rather than straight to the vendor.
- Vendor fulfills**.** They ship the item, deliver the file, or complete the service.
- Buyer confirms**.** Funds are released to the vendor minus the 2.5% fee, and the completed order counts toward both the vendor’s and buyer’s trust scores.
- If something goes wrong, the buyer opens a dispute**.** Funds stay locked until it’s resolved.
How disputes are resolved
An admin reviews the case and can:
- Propose a resolution, which the buyer and vendor each accept or reject
- Release funds to the buyer’s refund address
- Release funds to the vendor
- Split the funds between both parties
- Close the dispute with an outcome and notes
Looking for vendors
We launched vendor-first. If you sell anything — digital products, design/dev/writing services, hardware, collectibles — I’d love to have you on board. Early vendors get a free boosted listing of their choice.
Feedback welcome
This is an early-stage project and I’m building in the open. Bug reports, feature requests, and honest criticism are all welcome in this thread — I’ll be answering questions here.
