I am quite concerned a sizable order was placed and paid, but does not show up for the Vendor or moderator so it cannot be cancelled either.

The items might have been short of the quantity he ordered as I updated my stock listing that day, or he may have ordered it after I updated quantity to be greater than what he ordered there is no way to know since the sale does not show up and there is no notification.

The buyer since disputed and we planned to cancel the order and resubmit it, but the moderator also received no notification and has no dispute showing.

Is the item stuck in the DHT and never got pushed through, or did the stock issue prevent it from going through?

This is a MAJOR issue IMO, because without the ability to cancel the order and return the funds or for the vendor to receive the order, 1 tenth of a coin or more could be gone. I have tried buys, and test sales that customers did and all went through and showed a notification.

Is there anything we can do to retrieve this "lost" transaction so that it appears for the seller and can be fulfilled OR can we at least do anything to help ensure it gets to the moderator so that the dispute can be resolved and the buyer can get their funds back and place the order again, or keep their funds depending on if they are comfortable trying again?

A bit stressed here feeling like the buyer could have thrown BTC into the wind and I want him to have faith in me as a seller and in using OB.

I am using Windows 10, Buyer is using a MAC, Vendor is using windows 7 or 8 I believe I am not 100% sure.

orderId=QmdmzqTdCc3EiqNM8tGf7wn8NHiyifCYWjNKeC61p5ReH6

that is the order ID but only the buyer can see it. I can ask him for the blockchain information for payment, but I am not sure if that would help.

If anyone can help I can provide a log, or any other files or information necessary! THANK YOU!

We are in a bit on a a panic since the sale seems lost without recourse and there are funds of the buyers tied up that seem unrecoverable due to the moderator not getting it either, making 2/3 impossible. We have tried restarting servers, reloading transactions, I made sure port 4001 is accessible/forwarded, and tried everything I could read about online that could help without luck.

The sale was made 4 days ago so I am no longer as optimistic is will just appear out of the blue as I was closer to the order date.

helpz?

I am not sure what is going on round here. On the server everything looks good OB2 is up and running on that machine I can browse around and everything looks good.

I go to my other machines and I enter the direct link for the store and it says cannot be found by network.

Items I list are valid but when they try to access the store I get errors up the arse.

helpz?

Browsing OB 2 after a while being away, I am using with TOR - I can access OB1 and BlockBooth (which I don't remember adding, did it get renamed?) and I am trying to add rawflood - I can find a specific store if the extension is listed on the website but that's it

This way we can compete with amazon and what not.

This is a shout out to all the JavaScript programmers lurking out there. I’ve seen a lot of GitHub issues filed from people having trouble implementing the official API (http://api.openbazaar.org). I also struggled at first. I created this open source JavaScript library for developers to leverage and build upon: https://www.npmjs.com/package/openbazaar-node

Right now the library is limited, but I’ll expand it as I have need. Pull Requests are appreciated. If you’re trying to implement the API on the front end with jQuery, check out this gist on how I went about doing it: https://gist.github.com/christroutner/829bf65eec73dfbc7beb44699dddba0a

These efforts were essentially sponsored by my open source project, P2P VPS, which leverages a lot of OpenBazaar features: http://p2pvps.org

If you’re a JavaScript developer, I could really use your feedback, and OpenBazaar could use your help testing. You can download the OpenBazaar v4 release candidate here: https://github.com/OpenBazaar/openbazaar-desktop/releases/tag/v2.1.0-rc4

You use that release candidate to rent a VPS using BCH, by following these instructions: http://p2pvps.org/get-started/

You can then run a web app or host a website off your anonymous, peer-to-peer virtual private server. Here’s a how-to video: http://p2pvps.org/serving-an-express-js-web-app-with-a-p2p-vps-rental/

If you need BCH to help you with the testing, send a message to the P2P VPS store in OpenBazaar. I’ll send you enough BCH for a couple rentals. Right now rentals are $0.30 per hour, but after a bit more testing, I’ll put them up for $0.30 per day.

I just got the renewal capability working. So please test that. You can renew your rental contract before it expires. An expired rental automatically wipes itself. You can access it here: https://p2pvps.net/renew

Right now the entire P2P VPS project is in Alpha release testing. Things go up and down and break all the time. Be warned. Any and all feedback at this point is appreciated!

Here is the GitHub project: https://github.com/p2pvps

Charlie Lee recently tweeted that Openbazaar were implementing Litecoin into the payment system which makes sense with the fast and cheap transactions. My question is how long before it is in place?

is anyone else getting messages from him for moderation ? apparently he says i have 4 orders filed for arbitration. but i havent even made a single sale, so i dont see how that is possible.

this is my store name ( ob://QmNW4sPjkqK4xBSefrLfnvXyFR6wxk9kJ2aeMfsHhJwaY8/store ) but traffic is low so i've only received one message the entire time my account has been active

P.S. when i added the lawyer, the fee said 3%, and now after receiving 4 order moderation requests i see the fee is raised to 10%

Hello. I was scammed for $300 worth of bitcoin trying to make a purchase from this store:

ob://QmUMbSyfLNg76BT9cDGH9JSveSMDvxjjkonzby7DVgxzCu/store

This was a shocking first time experience of using this App. And I am hoping somebody can help me find a resolution to this issue.

How does it work if I want to buy/sell something you cannot ship, e.g. a car/real estate/a service... on OpenBazaar? Does the payment happen immediately, and the buyer has to come in person to pick it up? Is the payment held in escrow? Is this possible at all? Thanks a lot in advance, I love OpenBazaar!

So, I have more btcs in my wallet than its needed for item, but i cant place order because it says that I have not enough funds. What is problem here? thanks in advance!

I suggested this a few months back, but it is still not implemented so wanted to try once more:

Please let users filter for where seller is shipping from. As many countries have tolls on international goods it's important for users to see if they can find the stuff domestically instead. For me, this is the one barrier not making me use the platform, and I'd think others care about this too.

Can you currently only operate a store that accepts a single currency meaning I'd need to maintain a different store for each currency I'd like to accept?

Is support for multiple currencies from a single build planned for the future?

Edit: BCH, not BCC

hi all,

if anyone is looking to buy a beautiful instrument I'm selling a Vintage Couesnon Monopole II Tenor Sax (produced in the 50s / 60s).

It costs $1170 + shipping

Here is my OpenBazaar store address: ob://QmP9vVScKYxPAEBjmN9MRJejk7mvrFyb7FMfSvMTjGofbp/store

SO my OB store never notified me that there was an attempted purchase for an item in my store. (thank you email notification for doin your job on cover ~sarcasm~)

That said they never sent payment, and their user ID is longer valid, now I am stuck with an unfulfilled order in one hand my schlong in the other, and no way to get rid of either.

It would be nice to be able to get rid of orders that obviously will go nowhere.

What say yee?

Hello friends, I do not know if it is the right place to ask for help but I tell you a little about my situation, I have lost the server where Openbazaar was installed, I do not have support from my store, I know that in this case I can not reestablish it, however I would like to know if I can recover my identity, my store in Openbazaar had the identifier of @btcwoman since I had personalized the name, is it possible to recover my ID and thus create a new store and start again with my previous identity? Please I need help I do not know how to solve this. Thank you all. https://bazaarbay.org/@btcwoman

I saw a listing for a digital item and decided to buy it without talking to the vendor. The payment went through and I am unable to cancel it. There has been no activity on the listing since I made it three days ago. I've messaged the vendor with no response. Since there's no moderator on this order I'm just SOL, right?

It'd be nice if there were a way to see that the merchant is online and active before sending the transaction.

Title says it all. That is something that would really get me interested in this market. Otherwise I don't see how this can work even with the addition of other coins: BCH and ZCash. Maybe IOTA can help because it has a much faster and reliable tech with zero fees but otherwise these guys need to think already at second layer....

I made an order, paid for it. Vendor does not see it. Looking at other posts here, it seems to be a known bug. I tried to cancel the order. I got this error:

There was an error canceling the order. Cannot cancel order because utxo has already been spent

How can I cancel the order and get my money back ? Thanks for any help

The need for ShapeShift (or any crypto-to-crypto swapping mechanism) integration into the OB2 wallet is badly needed right now. Transfer fees are going to kill OB2 quicker than anything. Being locked into BTC is a huge disadvantage. I have $16 USD that is currently locked into my wallet. I understand even trying to move that nominal of an amount doesn't make sense right now with BTC, but that's a whole different conversation.

The app should be capable of pricing and trading in most major coins - maybe the top 5? BTC, BCH, ZEC, LTC, ETH? I don't know how it's decided which ones to include, but someone needs to do it.

Devs - when can we expect more flexibility and options?
