## What is [BCShop.io](https://bcshop.io/)?

[BCShop.io](https://bcshop.io/) is a platform and an online marketplace that are powered by smart contracts, allowing vendors to put their products and services up for sale! The product data as well as the exchange between buyer and seller occurs through Ethereum smart contracts. ### The big news? [BCShop.io](https://bcshop.io/) mainnet is out!

## MainNet Release!

Users can now visit [BCShop.io](https://bcshop.io/) and put their products up for sale as well as see what's on offer. The platform is ready for the big stage.  Check it out for yourself! ## Creating an Offer

Users can create their own offers by going to the [BCShop.io](https://bcshop.io/) website now.  This is the window used for putting up products for sale. Depending on the trust level of the vendor, they can opt to use an escrow. This ensures that if any complaints are made that they are dealt with before the smart contract releases the payment. Otherwise, the window is fairly self explanatory and easy to use. Here are some examples of product listings: https://bcshop.io/buy/2 https://bcshop.io/buy/62 ### What Can Be Sold/Bought?

[BCShop.io](https://bcshop.io/) allows the sale of any products of services a vendor may want to sell. The big difference is that [BCShop.io](https://bcshop.io/) can support items that traditional P2P marketplaces have no way to accommodate, such as cryptocurrencies and tokens. Although [BCShop.io](https://bcshop.io/) has these features it does not take away from selling products such as game items, legal services, etc. Traditional vendors can now put up their items for sale on [BCShop.io](https://bcshop.io/) and have an added source of revenue, while cryptousers have an easy way to purchase items using Ethereum. [Some examples are mentioned here](https://steemit.com/bcshop/@bcshop-io/bcshop-io-example-use-cases-part-1). A quick overcap of the above mentioned article, is that [BCShop.io](https://bcshop.io/) allows commerce that other platforms simply can't. One of the great examples that are mentioned are tokens. Token buyers often have to wait for a given token to hit an exchange before they can liquidate it. In some cases this takes extremely long and limits the buyer from part taking in other projects. An example used in the article mentioned above is "SWEET" tokens. Let's say you purchased "SWEET" tokens and you want to sell them before they hit the exchange.  This is how a sell order for the tokens would look. With the offer up, other individuals who missed out on the token sale can get them before they are even listed! ## Talk to the team!
