https://openbazaar.org/features/ https://openbazaar.org/features/ > It’s important to choose a moderator that is trustworthy for both parties on a decentralized network so make sure to join the OpenBazaar discussion communities and learn How To Choose a Good Moderator. I don't want to learn "How To Choose a Good Moderator." I'd like to have someone with deep pockets that I can sue for damages if they don't keep their guarantees, like Visa.

Ebay or Visa could easily be a moderators on the platform. And they would be safer than they currently are, currently they can theoretically run away with your money and your best hope is to sue them.

  How do they get paid? I didn't see that in the FAQ. Presumably they take a cut from the seller? If so, I'd imagine it might be frustrating to negotiate which 3rd party you pick for what fee for each transaction.

    Perhaps, but is it that different from sellers selling only on some specific websites/stores and not the ones you want to buy from?

      That's my point. I don't see how this would materially improve my experience. I've picked my trusted intermediaries and I shop through them.
