This was the version 1.0 of OpenBazaar, which had some fundamental limitations and wasn't very user-friendly.
The new 2.0 came out last week, and it's completely different. It uses IPFS so stores are always online, it's Tor-compatible, and it's much more stable and user-friendly. Definitely don't judge OpenBazaar until you've tried the new version:
If the first version was crap, why would I ever give them a second chance? After watching the Tutorial video I still don't want to install it.
Current Bitcoin fees make it useless anyway: the $2 sample payment is less than the fee required. As much as I'd like to sell small items for Bitcoin, it's not worth it.
Maybe BitCache can solve this in the future, or the Lightning Network, but both will take a while.
Dude OpenBazaar is great and they're going to be supporting other currencies soon. You can sell what you want and not worry about a damn thing. Yea the Bitcoin fees are at an ath but imagine when this is fixed...OB2.0 will dominate.
