Gauging interest in making a community (here on monero.town) where sellers would be able to post their seller profiles, including:

a min/max amount of xmr they have for sale
any payment methods, currencies, or coins they accept
communication methods they accept
links to accounts on other sites with feedback, and any verification they choose to include

No escrow (unless buyer/seller want to arrange it). Buyers could post reviews on the seller threads.

It would allow buyers and sellers to have a place to find each other, along with all the information they need to make successful trades with established sellers. Buyers and sellers could complete transactions any way they see fit.

As someone already mentioned, try https://retroshare.cc

It is fully decentralized community software with forums, chat, BBS, and file sharing. It is too risky here as they might claim this site is conspiring to transmit money without communist permission.

Has anyone gotten the Retroshare App Image to work with Tails? I feel like I'm close. After I register and the app tries to connect to a retroshare node, I get a pop up with a hidden address and an onion address, but also says "Tor status: offline". But I'm not offline. The hidden address is 9878:127.0.0.1: 27325; It seems like the port should be 9050, but there doesn't seem to be a way to change it.

Retroshare has its own built in tor instance, you do not need to run it on tails. Retroshare needs to create an onion address because it needs incoming connections so it may by conflicting with tails.

Just run it on a normal OS and select (Hidden Node over Tor) and it will take care of everything for you.
