As the Fediverse continues to grow, people are looking to build new experiences that change what’s possible on the network today.

Flohmarkt is a nascent project intended for selling personal items, and may be the first attempt of its kind here.

    I believe money shouldn’t be involved.

    Just match sellers and buyers together and let them figure the terms and transaction out themselves.

    All that is needed is a way to find what you want and a solid system of building trusted profiles with ratings and such.

    Not a simple task, but keep the money out and it will all be easier.

      Wouldn’t the second part require a trusted means to verify that a given profile actually sold you the promised thing, as well as some trusted means (two-party signing, maybe) to announce that a payment actually took place?
