TheShop is now open!
Buy or sell almost anything you want with 0% fees. 😊
We’re excited to announce the launch of our new initiative for the Steemit community!
Buy | Sell
TheShop is a decentralized marketplace designed in a way so that anyone can sell or buy products. Users can sell a new or used product by simply submitting their post to TheShop. Anything you would find on Amazon or eBay would be 99% appropriate to sell here too.
We would like to give a special shout out and thank you to our friend and first seller @scottshots for posting these breathtaking canvas prints that are now for sale!
"Milky Way Above Sagehen Meadows 3"
"Bonsai Rock Sunset 7"
From the buyers' perspective, you can browse through the categories to find a specific item you're looking for. You can also communicate with and transfer SBD directly to the seller to make a purchase.
Buyers also have the option to leave a product review in the comments section of the product post to help the next visitor in their decision-making process. Note that a buyer could additionally review the seller in a different page to help identify legitimate sellers from fraudulent ones.
From a sellers' perspective, you can easily create a product post by using the markdown template we provide. It's so simple, just copy & paste, then fill out the necessary information.
*****
We’re imagining 90% of the upvote activity will happen in the comments section, but when the posts get upvotes, the earnings will be transferred/delegated to @hyperfundit.com and @hypefoundation to help fund steem project creators and charitable causes.
We will be launching a @hyperfundit.com campaign to further promote @theshop, would you be interested in being an influencer for TheShop? We're looking for users with 60+ rep, join our Discord to learn more about this opportunity.
We’re looking to build a user base and collect feedback with this open beta, an app, and integration with @hyperfundit.com operations will follow in the road ahead.
Have fun shopping @theshop! :)
@robchen, co-founder
P.S. We’re looking for someone with animation experience to join our team to better tell the project creators’ stories on @hyperfundit.com. Compensation is 50% of post-earnings. Join our Discord and provide links to previous animations that you’ve created.
@hyperfundit and @partiko are teaming up to bring more users and projects to the Steem Blockchain. Would you vote @hyperpartiko for witness?
Would you trust us in making informed decisions to vote for other witnesses in your place? Allow us to be your proxy.
Shameless plug (っ＾▿＾)💨 your friendly neighborhood https://steemit.com/@steemfleamarket Give the old dog a visit everyone :)
Innovation is a river with many streams; the ocean is where our destiny is met with great opportunity. This yet another positive for blockchain and further a leap forward for cryptocurrency trading. Start with what the big guys do, on a small scale very well, that eventually everything is done well at every level.
This is another way people can trade physical goods, services, even "virtualize" retail with ETH BTC LTC, etc trading directly P2P in a secure, stable network. Great work!
Thank you @hyperfundit for sharing this!
@hyperfundit It looks a very good idea; bringing to steemit new opportunities, with this project "TheShop"
I wish you the best with your matters. Thanks you for share.
Thank you for the motivation! We have a passion to serve the community and provide people around the world with new opportunities.

FINALLY something that can benefit from the Steem/SBD fee-less and lightning speed transfers!
This is so big step for Steem blockchain, this can evolve in so many levels and once people learn that they don't need credit cards nor third party so they can buy online they will start to love it, this is so amazing, I am feeling very hyped about this and I will be monitoring the whole process/growth of TheShop! Well done!
We want to give a big shout out to an early adopter @abwasserrohr who is now selling a Mario + Rabbids game for Nintendo Switch on @theshop! Click the image to check it out!
good topic mercy
This will be very beneficial to STEEM growth. It is important to get projects like this running and to get the community support.
I have a question for @hyperfundit or anyone.
If I have a big ticket virtual item for sale or even a physical item, It would require a trust account managed by a middle man. This way money is held and guaranteed to the seller once the item is delivered to the buyer. Does this shop have something like this? If not, where can I find something like this?
Yes, we believe the more we can demonstrate the use of steem/sbd in making product purchases, the more valuable steem/sbd would stand as a currency!
Regarding expensive sales and physical items, we're aiming to address the trust issue with a community-driven effort. We incorporated a review system designed to build credibility for each individual seller. Granted, the common seller is going to have to start with small sales and earn their trust with buyers.
In phase 2 we'll roll out a whitelist, blacklist, and membership for sellers to further ensure legit/trustworthy sellers.
We're looking to eliminate the need for a middleman to allow for scalability. We hope this works as intended, but like any beta, we'll have to test and adjust accordingly.
In your experience, do you think it'll work?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts :)
Creative initiative expressed excellently..but may take some time to gain wide scope acceptance. Great work. Well done
Thank you and yes I agree. We'll do what we can to fast track, but it's going to take some time to gain followership from both buyers and sellers.
This is amazing as I am about to start selling skincare products as a side hustle. Will definitely keep this in mind. Very happy I clicked on trending and found this post. Keep it up guys! Cheers to the future!
Awesome, glad you found us and I hope TheShop helps with the hustle! :D
Nice initiative and project.
Why wait for Ebay and Amazon to catch on, when we can just create our own storefronts? Nice work.
