If yes, tell me please 👌

certainly possible :)

Yes, if you start one! 🐶🐾🫡

Something that runs itself, a la EBay, for Nostr Markets.

That would be harder. Even though LN allows to hold payment locked and unpaid for some time, I wouldn’t trust it for duration of an auction. Next best thing is to actually collect the payment by someone and payout to the seller later. Otherwise we just trust that the seller and buyer will have a successful transaction. Too many ways that it can go wrong 🐶🐾🫡

I think eBay works without escrow, but with reputation. You can win the auction and not pay (void the auction), but your reputation will suffer.

You just made them one. 🥳
