We were intentionally limiting the number of products and shops we were indexing due to opex. We needed to keep it low enough to provide ourselves with enough runway to keep things floating for longer.

pricerunner is another site which operates in a similar space. We had plans to build out the price tracking and a number of other features, so that we would appeal more to users who had your use cases. Sadly, we weren't getting enough traction. We did have regular users from the EU, but we simply couldn't seem to get in front of enough eyeballs for it to matter. At least at first, I expect that a large amount of your traffic to a new site like this has to be driven by Google, and we failed on that front as well. I'm not an SEO expert, so there were likely many things we did wrong or didn't even do which lead to this situation.

re: a sales platform, that's a pretty big challenge to take on, which would require massive investment up front. Not sure thats a viable route for most. We did have plans to address the "without hoping to various websites" problem, as we identified that as problematic for users very early on. The solution was relatively simple, but required more money to build out. We simply ran out of funds before we could get there.

What were your plans to solve this problem?
