The Team
Created 16 months ago
In the last 3 months the much needed team has finally arrived, giving this project renewed energy and wider world coverage:
The Community
Discord is now our main server for all things
- #announcements (for the latest news)
- #start-here (newcomers must become 'verified members' by connecting with us on Discord)
- #general-chat (ask us any questions & engage with the community)
- #buyers-room (successful transactions & suggestions for improvements)
- #sellers-market (once verified you can list your products here)
- #blacklisted (you will want to avoid being on this list)
With our growing number of dedicated language feeds international users will be able to read a clear explanation of our system, post-promote & engage with their language specific community.

The System
In order to keep this marketplace growing we have implemented a system of including the '4 simple steps' infogram with your product posts, using #steemshop as the first tag. In this way you will be eligible for an upvote & a resteem into
The upvote & resteem service will remain FREE until the
Buyers contact sellers under their product posts and when the product is no longer available it is the seller's responsibility to indicate this in the comments.
Don't give out your personal address under the posts!
Switch to a more private method of communication when giving out this information.
The Guidelines
While you are free to advertise your products any way you like, by following our guidelines you will be more likely to connect with a buyer.
Make sure to include:
- PHOTOS (multiple angles if it is a physical product)
- DESCRIPTION (include as much info as possible)
- CONDITION (is there anything you want to tell us about the condition?)
- SHIPPING (what is your location & weight of product?)
- PRICE (to avoid fluctuations in STEEM/SBD list your price in USD)
Be as specific as you can with your product posts using the correct tags so that people will easily find what they are looking for using the steemit search engine. If you have many different types of product it will be easier for people to find them as individual posts, each one sticking to a particular theme.
It is the responsibility of the buyer and seller to make the appropriate arrangements and honour them.
The Example Product Post
Please note I am not actually selling this product, just using it as an example and potential template for you.
Balinese Ink Steem Stamp
Description
Hand made in 2017 this rubber stamp was used for the 1st Bali Steemit meet-up, to stamp everyone's hand at the entrance. It comes complete with stamp pad & spare ink.
Additional Photos
This is the man who made it, in his workshop.
A close up on the quality of the rubber stamp itself.
Condition
It has been well used & there are scratches & ink stains on the wood, but it still works perfectly & the ink bottle is almost full.
Shipping
The total weight plus packaging is 100g and I am currently based in France. Standard national & international postal service rates apply.
Price
Due to the unique nature of this product, my asking price is $100 or nearest offer to be paid in Steem or SBD equivalent value at time of transfer.

The Bottom Line
Whatever you do, always make sure to include the '4 simple steps' infogram with your posts and use #steemshop as the first tag. This way we will see your posts, giving us the chance to interact and advise on your best course of action.
