How to become a moderator for OpenBazaar?

OpenBazaar, the P2P trading platform that operates with Bitcoin, recently launched version 2.0 of its commercial service incorporating new properties that now make the user experience much more attractive to its user base.

However, the sale of products and services is not necessarily the only way to quote prices and transaction costs within the platform, since it incorporates the role of the moderator who plays a very important role when a commercial activity is carried out. there is some type of inconvenience in the absence of a central figure to resolve possible disputes between buyers and sellers.

What does a moderator do?

As often happens in many digital commerce platforms, it may happen that the buyer ends up receiving a product that was not originally requested, or that the buyer is lying and wants to obtain a fraudulent re-bag, it is in these situations where the figure enters of the moderator, just to help resolve this impasse that has arisen.

The intermediary can charge for resolving a dispute in 3 ways:

Per percentage of the transaction
A fixed commission (regardless of the amount of the transaction)
A percentage plus a commission
Opportunity for Early Adopters

At the time of this publication we could only find a Hispanic moderator who has no competence and charges 10% for conflict resolution plus a commission.
The rest moderated from English speaking countries, so it is an open field for those who are looking for work online. Below we present a tutorial so that those interested in performing this position can do so without major inconveniences.

How to become an OpenBazaar moderator?

The first thing to do is download the application for computers and create a user profile, which exists only on your computer, remember that OpenBazaar is a distributed network without centralized servers.

Then we can enter the option identified as Customize just where the cover image of our page is located.

we can also enter through "Settings" in the user profile menu

Once this is done, we must select in the menu the option identified as Moderation.

Then we will leave a series of elements that we must indicate to perform this work: As a first step we must indicate whether we agree to moderate or not disputes, and then set the associated cost for the service provided (either by percentage or by establishment of other type of fees).

Then we must write a brief description of both the type of processes that are intended to offer, as well as the terms to perform this task, without forgetting the language in which we can perform the activity. Finally, it only remains to indicate that you agree with the rules of use and click on the Save button.

Once this is done, we only have to wait for the users who have had a conflict to choose the user as moderator in their case, for which the person who performs this task should simply set a position in favor of whoever considers that he / she has acted as the best way in the operation after a rigorous prior evaluation of the events.

Once the resolution has been taken, the platform will send the moderator the corresponding balance in the digital currency of his preference for the services provided, as well as reputation indicators assigned by the people who required his moderation.

Given that OpenBazaar is just beginning, at the moment there is a lot of scope for Spanish-speaking people who are willing to moderate the commercial processes between people, being guarantors that the processes have been taken at face value to benefit the person who really performed the procedure correctly.
