With the craziness of the Holidays behind me I finally got around to doing something I had been meaning to accomplish since getting home from SteemFest…listing an item for sale on [Peerhub.](https://www.peerhub.com/) I sat next to @steemrollin at the closing dinner in Amsterdam and he told me about this online marketplace (like eBay or Craigslist) that allows you to accept Steem as payment for your items. I collaborate with a local Twin Cities artist a few times per year to make very limited print-run, handmade poetry chapbooks. As a test, I decided to list one of these chapbooks to see how the marketplace worked. My first impression was that Peerhub has a simple and uncluttered design and was easy to use. Without knowing anything about listing an item my ad was done in less than five minutes with the following steps: ## Step One ## Click the orange “Post New Item” button. Yes, that's @ned himself strikin' a pose in a Steemit hat. ![](https://s27.postimg.org/w3nf4w8xf/image.png) ## Step Two ## Fill in empty fields (Title, Category, Payment Type, Shipping, Price, Condition, and Description) and add a photo. Click “Post”. You’re done! ![](https://s28.postimg.org/g7gsut83x/image.png) ## Step Three ## Step three isn't really even a step, it's your finished ad. Below is the ad for my chapbook. ![](xhttps://s23.postimg.org/ktcz2qrnv/image.png) ## The Verdict ## The process of listing an item on Peerhub is dead simple. The really great thing about the online marketplace is you can accept Steem, PayPal, or cash as payment. I chose Steem as my only payment option, of course. I woke up nine or so hours after I listed the chapbook and had a message in my inbox that the item had sold! As happy I was about the sale I was even more thrilled that the buyer paid me in Steem! It felt wonderful, it made me feel like a pioneer. This, my friends, is a glimpse of a future when you'll be able to purchase *anything* with Steem. In the next few weeks I’ll be listing autographed copies of my chapbooks and my novel for sale. I’ll also be looking for items to purchase on Peerhub. ## Explore Peerhub yourself by [Clicking Here.](https://www.peerhub.com/) Let’s get more Steem into circulation because when this happens we all win! ## --- *I am an American novelist, poet, traveler, and Steemit enthusiast.
