What's next? Fediverse Amazon?
Just stop 😂
A decentralized marketplace would honestly be pretty sick as long as they can figure out how to ensure people don't't get scammed
"Sick" as in "slick?" "Good?" (Going to add "clueless oldster" to the description on my BH profile page).
Along the lines of a "Fediverse Amazon", @[email protected] told me about flohmarkt, which does look interesting. One of its instances can be viewed here.
Sick mean cool or awesome. I guess
One note on "sick" being slang for "good": that particular slang started in the 80s, and some of the younger generation consider it to be old person slang.

So… doomed?
Why? Is it bad providing alternatives? Especially as it is Fediverse based, which is federated and not controlled by a single company. And being compatible to Fediverse protocol means you can use any application.
Imagine something like Amazon, a central place you go and everyone who federates with it can sell products. I'm not against it.
Fediverse is underpopulated cringe, this place is dead compared to everywhere else I go
