What are you looking for exactly? I don't like the idea of a second amazon, I'd rather have 100 different stores than a giant one monopolising everything.

Hmm. I guess I want a search engine that searches all the European online shops for the products Iโ€™m looking for, lets me browse and compare. I also want the companies to start selling their products through European online shops, instead of just Amazon.

This is basically what Zalando and Otto are.

Iโ€™d never even heard of Otto before this, so thank you!

Just hoped the site would be available in other languages than just German.
