New features and some new guidelines available on BitMarket.eu!

Phew, it was quite a week. The price went crazy, there was a big theft on the Bitcoin network. But we at BitMarket were working to bring you two new features, and one small something for us.

Paypal guidelines changed!
PLEASE READ THIS if you use Paypal, if you don't, you can get yourself trouble. Because of some confusion about who should pay the Paypal fees, we are changing our FAQ to reflect the most common situation: now the seller pays the Paypal fees. This is because, when you send money Paypal via Paypal you often don't have a choice besides choosing that seller will pay the fee. It happened to us many times and we have to make it an official rule to avoid more confusion.
Additionally, when buying with Paypal, please don't mention "Bitcoin", "coin", or any other currency-revelant words in your payment description. Please just put the your username/email and transaction ID there.

Site notifications
Now, when something's changed or added on our site, every member will get a notification to let him know of this fact. This notification will dissapear once you click on it and get you to a bigger story (probably most of you that are reading this already used this mechanism). So no more telling that "I didn't know that you changed something!"

Italian language
Our fellow trader ZEB-DEMON provided us an italian transation of our site, free of charge. We'd like you thank him for this and welcome all our italian friends to join us on the market!

You can now define which payment type to use on each offer
Because many people told us, that, for eg. they want to buy with Paypal but they don't want to sell in it, we're added a form to select your desired payment types on the Offers page. Your default payment types are always selected there, but you can change them at every offer.

And last, but not least...
BitMarket.eu was always free to use, for buyers and for sellers. As far as I know we are the only relatively big exchange that takes no commitions at all. This will change today though. We will... still remain free! But, we are adding an optional donation, that you can give to us on every trade you make.
You can choose whether you want to donate nothing, 0.1%, 0.5% or 1%. It's totally up to you. For now there won't be any premium features for using donations (beside of making the smiley in the Account page more happy

), but it may change in the future. The donation is one side only (seller pays the donation) and it's totally unobtrusive - it's doesn't get you in your way. It doesn't change your offer nor it doesn't block you from selling everything you have. In the latter example, you will just end up with small negative balance, but that's all.

We believe that most of you know that running a site like this costs money (right now we use a top-shelf VPS server, and hire two people to handle account verifications), but because Bitcoin is such a terrific idea, we want it to remain as free to use as possible. So optional donations/fees seem like a good idea - we will be grateful if you donate, but we'll not get mad if you don't

.

Trade well!
