Title: Proposal: split Economy > Marketplace > Goods in to regional subfora
Post by: Puppet on December 27, 2014, 03:42:35 PM
Im always interested in buying stuff with my bitcoin, but when the seller is on the other side of the ocean, it rarely makes sense due to shipping/taxes. So the vast majority of offers dont interest me, and I can usually only find out after actually clicking the topic and reading it.

Therefore I propose that forum be divided per continent or economic block (US/EU/Asia/other or something), while also having a "global" section for those purchases where buying across continents can be sensible.

It has been requested before but also shot down before. I personally don't think it's needed currently (though possibly in the future) but a better option would be if people put where they ship from or are willing to ship to in the title as I usually do if there's space.

I sell more to the US from the UK than I do to the UK or EU. Taxes can work both ways in terms of selling in and out of local regions.

I dont think there is a point in doing all these in the existing forum. AFAIK the new forum is coming in 2015. :)
