The marketplace although new so not a lot of users is smooth..easy to use..visually stunning..decentralized(Actually decentralized/p2p) Private and built on bitcoin core..what more you want ?
Nice idea as so many decentralized markets before...
However, try to sell some item and you must conclude it's halfbaked at least, a scam at worst: The network is run by all yet you pay a publishing fee for 1 day up to 1 week. Bad enough it doesn't stay until sold.
Worse still, how much is the fee? You don't know until purchase some of their PART-currency.
I do understand that devs need to pay rent, too. I just dislike such clandestine approach.
Nah, done here - next one, please!
Other perspective:
it's half-baked at least
It is functional, but at an early stage of the product's lifecycle. Even the biggest marketplaces on earth had their difficulties at an early stage. It evolves.
The network is run by all yet you pay a publishing fee for 1 day up to 1 week
The root is this publishing fee is there to mitigate spam since no value based fees, or subscription fees apply, and no data is created about the participants on both ends. Fortunately, it's not a fixed value. It's a figure the community is mandated to vote on. At the time of writing today, 100 listings for a 30 day's duration consume about ~$80. Which is somewhat too high, and should be lower. So, the community must act here until an equilibrium at $10 - $15 has concluded, IMHO.
On the other hand, if you sell 100 items at the big tech’s with an average price of 30 Bucks, you’ll pay something around ~$800-$1000 in fees. I am unsure if that’s healty long-term except for the marketplace operator.

The developers do not benefit from the listing fees. These spam fight-off fees get redistributed to the people's nodes who help securing the network.
Perhaps I can encourage you once again to help foster a world towards more freedom, fairness, and prosperty. Your valuable opinion within the community could have lead to fee adjustments within a blink.
Thanks for your encouraging feedback :) Client looks better/faster now. Still, the main problem persists:
No coins means I cannot offer anything means I cannot get coins
You certainly must see this conundrum? Instead people who have coins do get more coins by staking - I wouldn't even mind that but how is one supposed to get started (other than buying PART)?
Would my running client/core earn anything within a reasonable time (a week, a month) to get started?
Nope, I'm not buying any claims of this company. Use of marketing 'hot words' and intentional ambiguity in its inner working, completely kills any motivation of me to look further into using it. How exactly is it decentralized? Who are the employees? How is it operated? Why is it centered upon a novel cryptocurrency? Is that related to how its one of the only online marketplaces that do not offer any type of web interface? It requires a download on your system, which makes me very suspicious of this operating some type of crypto-jacking or otherwise covert distributed crypto mining operation.
Completely encrypted, private, global, truly decentralised e-commerce platform.
Decentralised, anonymous, non profit!
If you like to keep your data private from snooping eyes, this is a great platform to look into.
I think it is a good private worldwide solution
