I think you have a really good idea here that people will want to use. I believe your idea of not doing a centralized market is a smart approach - if you can get on quora and statckoverflow and others. I think having your own token will turn some people off; it would be easier to just do everything in Ether; you will sell the people on the idea of why your token is value added. Good luck with the project.
Thank you.
About your comment in doing payment in ETH - it also opens us possibility to switch blockchains in case when scalability problems of ethereum will not be solved. Also keeps us tokens for promotion of the product and we're planning some more utilities for token keepers like having free access to premium features just for token holders
