This is awesome, well done!

I use Depop and Vinted here in the UK. We also have one called Preloved, which could be problematic.

I also know some vintage clothes sellers and a lot of stock comes from Indonesia. I'm always on the lookout for specific colours and styles of vintage items.

Could you open up your site Internationally somehow? I can already search using English terms. Currency conversion would be relatively easy. The main thing would be shipping. It might only be sensible to collect packages in Indonesia and ship them in bulk to the buyer (so, like Buyee for things from Japan)

Thanks a bunch!

I'm familiar with and love Depop! And I'm aware of Preloved too. Luckily, we're targeting different countries, so that potential issue you mentioned might not affect us.

Love the idea of international shipping! The shipping API we partnered with supports it, so it's definitely on our radar for the future. However, our current Indonesian payment provider has limitations. Credit card payments are disabled due to low usage, and the fees are quite high. Maybe we can consider implementing a minimum spending requirement for international orders?

On another note, I'll be kicking off the dev of the mobile app soon, so it might be a while before we can accept international orders.

+1 for international orders, would love to get notified once that goes live. I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a shopping cart to check out with multiple items at once, even if they're all from the same seller. Suppose that's not a big deal yet until I'm actually able to get orders shipped to USA, though. Good looks so far, very promising stuff!
Absolutely! I'll prioritize working on the shopping cart soon.

Thanks for your interest! To stay updated, the best way is to create an account. Once international shipments become available, I'll send an email to everyone since it's a major development.
