    I don’t want to start a political drama but… What’s the French or EU equivalent and why isn’t it as popular? Or is it? I honestly don’t know but keep asking the question why is Amazon (or Google for that matter) so dominant in their markets even outside the US?

      Higher barrier to entry and there’s honestly just too much money in USA (I don’t know how else to say it lol, hope you understand). The amount of efforts required to be even considered underdog against Amazon is stupendously high.

      In the Netherlands we have bol.com that is generally more popular for online shopping, but in other countries amazon entered the market pretty early.

      I’ve only tried Amazon a few times, but it doesn’t really seem like a quality service so who knows 🤷
