@steemshop was created a year ago with the intention of providing a system here on Steemit which enabled us users to buy/sell goods & services using the STEEM & SBD in our wallets.

It was my belief at the time that further accounts would be required to make it a functional system:

• @steemshopbuy - an account for those seeking products/sevices
• @steemshopsell - an account for those selling products/services
• @steemshopescrow - an escrow account to ensure safe exchanges
• @steemshopinfo - all information required to use @steemshop system
• @steemshopnews - updates and features

The 4 phase vision proposed a further expansion of accounts by separating products from services before bringing it all together under one website from which live feeds of all the accounts would be easily accessible with further categories/accounts being added over time to meet demand.

How successful has this been?

Short answer, not very.

Without consistent reminders from the @steemshop account few people were even aware of its existence and fewer still took the time to follow the guidelines, creating posts with the correct tags, photos, price & description.

In short, the system was over complicated.

One account / One tag

With just one account the whole system will be simplified. If the demand is there, the system will be expanded organically.

The only guidelines will be these:

#steemshop

(one tag to remember)

• If you are selling - describe your product/service/price & use the tag

• If you are searching - describe what you are looking for & use the tag

• If you have ideas for the development of @steemshop make a post & use the tag

• It is your responsibility to be clear in your posts what you are selling or searching for.

• It is your responsibility to create & honour terms & conditions of your sale or purchase.

@steemshopescrow is available for those who wish to use a 3rd party holding account. Please contact @samstonehill for more.
