It will also be much, much cheaper to use than eBay. I can't wait that they finish it though.
It might be cheaper and even better, but without the numbers or userbase it wont be much good. It's how I look at bitcoin. Obviously its better than fiat but it just doesn't have the userbase or merchant adoption yet.
The Bitcoin ebay site, BitMit, did pretty well with many merchants and quite a few users. And that was just a website run by one guy (who apparently was overwhelmed and shut it down).
Bitmit really wasn't doing that well and if it was it wouldn't have shut down. He could have just hired more people. Why would you kill a growing business. Cryptothrift is another. Sure people use it but not enough for it to be significant.
