I found out how to sell things and people can use Steemit / Steem Dollars / Steem to buy my paintings I've just posted for sale. Others should try it out too. You can sell anything on there pretty much.
First I want to give @tee-em a hat tip for the information that he recently posted about Peerhub. I am hoping this info spreads along to my followers.
I didn't know that Peerhub accepted Steem$ as a form of payment, but they do. This is great because I had zero luck using OpenBazaar with Bitcoin, and it's really easy to sign up and use. They also let people buy using paypal and cash.
Here's a screenshot of my profile:
We'll see if I actually sell anything on here, but I thought it was worth a try.
I'll probably add other items on their too - in fact I just added these buttons to sell:
Here are the paintings I've got up. The images are linked to the sale posting:
Here's a video Peerhub posted talking about this new site:
Please check out my original blog about my paintings - I have a story behind them: Dark Stars Burn Bright [My Series of Original Artwork Paintings]
Like I said, it was easy to sign up and get started posting.
Thanks everyone. If you found this blog useful please upvote/resteem/follow and etc...
Thank you for the props, dbcn! Good luck with your sales! Don't forget to also check out open bazaar as well :)

Just made a post today adding to what tee-em is saying here https://steemit.com/steemit/@cryplectibles/openbazaar-takes-steem-list-your-art-or-garage-sale-items-now . OpenBazaar + Peerhub seems like the winning combo, especially since you can work Steem out to transfer with OpenBazaar using Shapeshift.

OpenBazaar would be good, but I had zero luck with them. Having the paypal option will be the gateway to get people into cryptocurrencies. Hopefully OpenBazaar will also get away from the scammy position of needing to pay others to have a server that stays open. So it has it's problems... oh and does anyone actually buy anything on there? I had not one sale in the 4 months or so on there.

I have had sales enough where I use DigitalOcean VPS for now and I would say they are far from scammy, but the IPFS tech is coming with 2.0 so stores do not have to be online. They update fairly frequently, I would not poo poo it off so quick based on early use. Having been there for 5 months, it is really coming along.
I have been using Etsy for Paypal option with my sales, still haven't put anything up on Peerhub yet, I am trying to find separate items so it's not all the same stock on each store. Either way, good luck in whatever ways you choose to handle transactions, I just figure it is best to have all venues open (it's why I still have an Etsy open, people use CC and Paypal often still, but if they use OpenBazaar or Peerhub, they get better prices). What is your OpenBazaar handle?
