No escrow? How would this work without incredible amounts of trust?
It took forever, but it's all coming together. Here is the first demo of my upcoming portable Marketplace.
It only takes users seconds to buy any product, and creators receive the address and payment instantly. No Cuts!
Every artist will get their portable Marketplace, which they can share with their users anywhere.
By the way, it's unstoppable, you can also run it locally and attach your node.

Even if I'm not missing something, I've been wondering how long it would take for something like this
Every artist will have their own small marketplace, something like Damian.com/pubkey. So, if you trust that it is the artist you want to buy from, you can purchase their product. The website will be online in the next few days, but it will be in the Alpha version, which means it will work but will lack some advanced features.
Ooooh I was picturing physical items, disregard lol. Great work
I have already created one service for digital items Zapit.live you can put any content behind lightning paywall like blog, pictures, videos, anything. User will only get the content when they pay the invoice.
Honestly it could probably work well for physical items even without an escrow. Look at dark markets, how many people finalize early if they trust the vendor? And a lot of these would presumably be known identities dealing with much less sketchy stuff lol still obviously risky though
