Auction items for bitcoin

Items are sold as is and cannot be returned. If you have any questions about an item, please feel free to reach out to us at help charitystars. Sweepstakes allow users from around the world the opportunity to enter for a chance to win the grand prize. To enter without donating, please fill out a free entry form and send to CharityStars, Inc. The name of the sweepstakes you are entering must be written on the back of the envelope and the form must arrive at CharityStars before the date specified in the sweepstakes official rules to be counted.

The Entrant is responsible for supplying correct postage. Please see the Official Sweepstakes Rules for complete details. Each properly submitted entry form gets you one entry into the Sweepstakes of your choice. There is no limit to the number of entries you can mail in, but only one entry form per envelope will be counted. Donating does not increase your odds of winning; odds of winning are based on the number of entries received, not the method of entry.

No, you are not required to create a CharityStars account to enter a sweepstakes, but having an account allows you to easily keep track of the sweepstakes you have entered, donations you have made, and items you have purchased. It also gives you the ability to edit your personal information, such as preferred shipping address, etc.

All age restrictions are listed in the Official Rules of each sweepstakes. The probability of winning a sweepstakes depends on how many people enter a particular sweepstakes. Each entry is equivalent to one chance at winning, and so the probability of winning a sweepstakes will be one divided by the number of entries distributed for that particular sweepstakes. For example, if there are entries distributed for a particular sweepstakes, each entry has a 1 in chance of winning.

If you obtain multiple entries, then your chances of winning increase. Winners will be contacted via email shortly after the close of the sweepstakes. The winner must accept the prize within the specified deadline to claim the prize and arrange the experience. For sweepstakes that are open to the world, travel from anywhere in the world and hotel accommodations for a minimum of two nights will be included.

If travel or accommodation is limited to a specific country, it will be specified in the Official Rules of that sweepstakes. Buy Now are items or experiences that are available for purchase right away at a set price.

If you see an item or experience that you are interested in, you may purchase it right away without having to wait for an auction to end and without the risk of being outbid. Please be sure to read the details of each item or experience carefully before purchasing, as age and location restrictions may apply. If more than one item or experience is available, the quantity will be listed and available to purchase up to that amount. At times, there will be a limit on how many items one specific user can purchase in order to give the opportunity for other users to participate as well.

There may be age restrictions on some items and experiences offered. Please be sure to read the details on each item page before purchasing. Delivery time will vary depending on the item and experiences you are buying. Please be sure to read the details before completing your purchase.

You can then sell your stuff to other people who have the client and want to buy goods with crypto. They can browse other shops to see what's for sale, and then pay in their preferred currency.

Need to take your shop offline while you go on vacation? Just shut down the program. This does mean it will need to be running for you to make sales. If you're offline people can browse your shop. Browsing open bazaar in the actual app can be tedious, but they're working on a fix. For easier browsing, and to see what sort of stuff is available here you can use bazaar bay which is an online search engine for the platform.

I was surprised to see that the kind of people that use Open Bazaar are totally different from the ones that use Bitify. It's a lot less questionable stuff and a lot more organic honey, bitcoin merch and artwork which is nice. While the audience on Open Baazaar is not huge yet there are some people making a few sales. If you're already selling stuff on eBay, Amazon or Etsy you could of course also list your stuff here for some secondary bitcoin sales, and to help the platform grow!

I really like this project, and I hope it catches on, because it's super cool. Oh, yeah - it's also free! Due to the P2P nature of the platform being hosted on your own PC there are no transaction costs like with other sites! Peer to Peer is a beautiful thing, and it makes it super economical since everyone shares the load. You can also accept over 50 altcoins in your store so customers can pay in whatever they've got without first trading them back to bitcoins, but they will be paid back to you in bitcoins for ease of use.

Want to use a regular store that's hosted on your own domain, but you want to accept bitcoin? There's a solution for that too! It's not free, but the fees are pretty reasonable.

Coin Payments allows you to integrate crypto payments into lots of shopping cart solutions, and it also supports quite a few altcoins You can even accept Steem with it! This will of course require you to purchase hosting and a domain, but several of the shopping carts are free software. If you'd prefer to manage your own storefront instead of hosting it on another platform this is a pretty nice option, and probably one of the more economical solutions to accepting crypto in your online store.

Support for altcoins and fiat! I can no longer edit this article as it's over 7 days old, but if you've found this post helpful, and you plan to sign up for Bitify you can help me out by using my referral link to do so.

How was your selling and buying experience on Bitify?

Did your transactions go smooth? I know this is an old comment which I just now have seen, but I did have a smooth bitify transaction. I recently needed some money quickly, and I sold some crypto for paypal funds. They have an escrow system so you don't need to release funds until you get your item. I like it a lot. I wish it was more popular. I'm not sure if this is due to lack of marketing or what. Hey thanks for the reply.

No problem, I know how old post can get lost. Thanks for the input. I think I will give bitify a try.

I dont know why you dont have more upvotes after 1.
