Here is a quick guide to creating the new shops. There are 3 different types of shops and they are all created in more-or-less the same manner.
Selling and Buying Shops
Use these shops to sell items to other players or to buy items from other players.
To begin building either of these shops, place a chest down where you would like it. Next, place a sign down directly in front of or on the chest.

To buy 64 cobblestone for 10$ a stack, your sign would look like this...
[shop]
64
10
buy
When you complete the sign, you will hear a sound that indicates the shop has been created properly. The sign will also change the text to be all red and update the information to display nicely. The next step is to indicate what you are actually trying to buy or sell. Simply hit the sign while holding the item you wish to buy/sell and your shop will be complete. You should see the item you are buying/selling floating on top of the chest. If you right-click on the sign, you can change the display method of the item.
Remember to actually stock your selling shop by placing items into the chest!
Barter Shops
These shops allow you to trade items without exchanging currency.
These shops begin exactly like normal shops. Place a chest on the ground, then put a sign on or in front of the chest, and fill out the sign as follows.

10
30
barter
Once you complete your sign, you will hear a sound and your sign will change to display the proper formatting. To set the items for barter, first put the item you are bartering in your hand and hit the sign (with the previous example, hit the sign with logs in your hand). Then, hit the sign with the item you want to barter for (ie, cobblestone). Both items will then appear floating on top of the chest.
Other things to note
To remove your shop, simply break the sign and destroy the chest. Simple! You can change the display method of the items in your shop by right-clicking the shop sign. Money earned will be deposited directly into your account. Remember to keep your shops stocked by placing items in the chest!

- In order for the shop to function, the first line of the sign must be [shop].
- The next line will indicate how many of the item you are buying or selling at any given time.
- On the third line of the sign, indicate the price at which you will sell your items (for Sell Shops) or the price at which you will buy the items (for Buy Shops).
- Finally, in the fourth line of the sign, indicate what type of shop you are creating- sell for a shop where you sell items to other players, buy for a shop where you buy items from other players.
