Not really impressed, why would you want to put your marketplace at the whims of Stripe or credit card companies?

I am currently working on a bitcoin marketplace, while it would restrict the ease of use for users, it would also cut out alot of fraud and chargebacks crap

I would rather have a large part of a rapidly growing pie than fighting ebay or amazon on their turf

Because depending on your industry the vast majority of people have never used bitcoin and have no intention of working the whole thing out. Most of everyone interested in buying online though can use one of a credit card, PayPal or a bank transfer.

Maybe there are niches where it is feasible to operate in bitcoin at this time. For almost everyone though this isn't an option.

I don't really have pony in this race, but one thing I'll say is "ease of use for users" is paramount.

Perhaps bitcoin will go mainstream and everyone will be using it sometime in the future. Perhaps. But until then, the marketplace you're building isn't really even competing in the same space as this.
