What would a federated/ activity pub selling platform look like?
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?

But then you end up using crypto
Crypto itself isnt the problem. The problem is people trying to trust 3rd parties as we must in the current banking system. Tbf, i do think most crypto is a scam and only use a very limited subset. monero, Ethereum, and bitcoin are the only ones i will seriously touch.
The issue then becomes conflict resolution.
Let's set aside the ocean of scammers out there and look at issues buyers and sellers often have.
I'm guilty of missing an issue with an item that I did not disclose. If I sent that to the buyer and I wasn't included to give them a refund, what recourse would they have other than a bad review?
