I had a similar thought but I was thinking more eBay. You could have individual buying and selling and you could have authorized sellers.
Over dinner I've been thinking "what if" we were to create a platform similar to Amazon but for Bitcoin products and merchants with shipping centres in the US, EU and Asia? I know, we have "online stores" for Bitcoin products but that's not the same. For example, me ordering from nostr:npub1uzt238htjzpq39dxmltlx60vxym9fetk9czz6kddq6fhvkf4z3usy9qtrh makes no sense. Import and shipping will make the product uninteresting / too expensive. But, if we had a EU distribution center buying from US merchants in larger scale, it would completely change the cost and import prices for such products.

Yeah but you still face the problem of not being able to purchase consumer quantities from people across the world unless you're willing to pay for oversea shipping, import etc. Hence distro centres. Just an idea but even Amazon started small and look at it now.
Yeah, I understand what you’re saying. I just don’t know if we have the scale for warehousing in three or four regions.
That's the thing. We'd have to find out and you'd need partners you can trust in those other regions. It's not one-man show.
You would need a centralized website to buy the products such as Shopify. You would need 3PL. That are in the three regions you wanted to be in but also could deliver to countries outside of those three regions. The reason forcentralization of the website is so that if you wanted to buy items from multiple vendors or stores at the same time it could drive additional cost downward
good thinking.
