This is my first experience with it. But from what I understand, the only payment @steembay gets is from the upvotes they get on their replies and the posts on their page.
Here's a tutorial and some info on it.
Right now, it doesn't look like there's too much traffic. Not a lot of eyes seeing the auctions. I think it's cool though and I thought I might try to post something there once a week or so.
thank you for the tutorial link - and once a week is a good plan. we're here often enough, posting and commenting, so it's easy to whip something up and let 'er go!
I'd really like to see it gain some traction. I think having a place to utilize SBD without cashing out, and keeping it the system, exchanging it for goods. I think it could be a real sweet deal.
