Is there a online shopping platform that is EU based? Have you used any or heard of cool related projects?

Also the platform being privacy oriented would be a big plus.

In Poland, Allegro is really strong, it's owned by european funds and it's already available in few more countries in middle-eastern Europe. Maybe someday it'll grow even further.

Still, most small companies would prefer you to buy from them directly.

Search ducks, and it is mostly an online marketplace - so most products are from China anyway. Basically European based Aliexpress/Wish/Ebay/Amazon.

I can't say I liked the experience, especially when they bought the second biggest pc part retailer, completely annihilated their website (which was one the nicest and most user friendly eshop websites I've ever used), and replaced the websites with a web page (or category) on their own website, which is borderline unusable in comparison while offering half the items.
