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?

    I think a good starting point would be to have your Wordpress website with the ActivityPub plugin installed (which makes every product page a Fediverse-friendly post) and WooCommerce or some other type of e-commerce product on it. The payment will still not be free software (Stripe & Paypal, usually), but at least you own your shop and you can easily share it with the Fediverse.
