I sell stuff on eBay and FB marketplace. In the vein of platforms that you love to hate. What would it take to build software on the fediverse for the purpose of selling things?

    With all due respect, I think money exchanging hands can stay out of the fediverse. It doesn’t line up with it being free of advertising.

    Setting up local swap shops would be more in line with the ethos I’ve seen on the site so far.

      That’s what I’m talking about. Users selling things to users. You could also make it a “math” style swap marketplace. That would be good for the PC parts secondhand market.

      As is stands eBay charges a lot of fees and marketplace search is broken.
