Updates section is ... updated:
Storefronts β profile pictures, banners, links
Your seller profile is now a storefront.
On the account page you can upload a profile picture, set a display name, add a banner image, and list up to 6 links (website, socials, contact).
Pick your account type β individual or organization. Organization pages get a taller banner, an ORGANIZATION tag above the name, and a bigger profile picture; individuals get the same controls in a more compact layout.
Profile pictures also show up next to the seller name on listing pages.
Listing cards stay text-only for now to keep the browse grid fast.
Storefronts live at
cbay.ing/#u/<your-handle>.
Edit yours under Account β Storefront.
Auctions are live
You can now list an item as an English auction instead of fixed price.
Pick a starting bid, minimum increment, and a 1, 3, or 7 day run.
Bidders see a live countdown and the current high bid on every card and on the listing page.
Anti-snipe: any bid placed in the final 60 seconds extends the auction by another 60.
When the clock runs out, the winning bidder gets an email and a "complete checkout" panel on the listing β payment then flows through the normal crypto checkout at the winning bid price.
No bids β the listing quietly hides itself.
Sellers can edit the starting bid and increment until the first bid lands; after that the auction is locked in.
Shipping costs at checkout
Sellers can now set a shipping price per listing (flat, calculated by region, or free).
Buyers see the total β item shipping β before they pay, and the order record carries both line items.
Works alongside the existing peer-to-peer flow: the seller still gets paid directly in crypto, cbay just makes the totals honest.
