I stumbled upon the TokenMarkets application while reading Mastering Bitcoin on page 284 in the section titled Counterparty, which describes the protocol layer with having the ability "to create and trade virtual assets and tokens in order to express digital ownership and to rent, access, trade, or shop for content, products, and services" in the digital atmosphere.

TokenMarkets Features and Advantages over Competitor Ebay
TokenMarkets charges $0.33 per normal item listing, $0.40 for downloadable purchases, and $0.80 for token deliveries in the form of action credits; when you create your account you receive 250 free action credits and addition credits cost $0.01 / credit.
Without a membership through Ebay, users of the platform pay as much as 15% on all final sales prices to the company and on the low end around 4%-7%. In TokenMarkets to accept USD via credit card, only a %1.5 fee is applied to the purchasing price.
In addition to the very clean and user friendly platform design, TokenMarkets allows you to track your sales in an organized tab, track where you are converging your sales from through applications like Facebook Pixel found here: https://www.facebook.com/business/learn/facebook-ads-pixel
Premium Account Features
With ebay limiting so many marketing features and control over YOUR information and the way YOU INTERACT with YOUR CUSTOMER, it is a blessing that their is finally a completely open-source marketplace.
Conclusion / Summary
In this Steemit Post, I went over the introduction of a new marketplace backed by Blockchain Technology that allows the seller to control everything from the way they advertise their product too the price and discounts that you can offer . With powerful tools being offered by Social Media Titans such as Facebook Pixel, you can record, analyze, and use your lead generation data to find a better targeting strategy. None of which Ebay has integrated. The reduction in fees alone from this switch in platforms is enough to save big bucks over the lifetime of your business.

Side-Note: I have years of experience with selling on Ebay and know the ins-and-outs of the marketing, bumping, price-awareness techniques, inventory management, picture profiling and more. If you have a current Ebay business and would like to expand your profit potential in one of the most cutting edge technologies, I would love to be apart of it and would be excited to work something out!
