It's cool that you're doing SEO and SEM in Bahasa. On your own or with a team?
My pet peeve: people calling it "Bahasa". It's called Indonesian. Or "Bahasa Indonesia". Bahasa just means "language". Do you also ask people if they speak "langue" if you want to know if they speak French?

Indonesians themselves call it "bahasa". I guess the user you responded to is either Indonesian, or has been there.
If you're talking about Indonesians refererring to Indonesian in an English language context, yeah some of them do this too (like the original commenter I replied to above), I can't imagine a context where an Indonesian would ask someone else in Indonesian if they understood "bahasa", because the Indonesian being asked would wonder "Which language do you mean?".
It would be like a Brit asking someone in London, "Do you speak language?".
But just like there's Singlish in Singapore, there's probably Indonesian English. Another pet peeve of mine is Indonesians using "married" as a verb (in an Indonesian sentence) instead of an adjective.
I'm curious: Why Indonesia? Is there a specific reason for sourcing from this country over others?
Indonesia is not very green but technology like this can help address that

LOL, sibling comment voted to death, because I guess HNers know better than 2 native speakers (I am also one).

yes, my only source for my previous comment was a passport control officer asking me "do you speak bahasa" at the airport :-)
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 relativel…
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 disabl…

+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!
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.
Your site logo has a 8 bit flair. Are you a Minecraft or Mario fan? Are you comfortable in sharing your MRR? Even ballpark is ok. If traffic is slowing down, your site might be suffering from that post-runout exhaustion in that channel. I see you are already taking steps to mitigate that. Have you thought about partnering or hosting your inventory on a popular retailer's site? Good luck with your biz.
Currently, the MRR is in the low three figures.
No, I haven't explored that yet. It sounds intriguing, but managing and removing user-submitted content could be challenging since it's all user-driven.
Thanks a lot!
wow this is great job! Congrats. Curious if you can share your tech stack for this? Did you use any headless commerce to speed up development?
I've used VueJS/NuxtJS/Tailwind for the frontend and a NodeJS/ExpressJS/Postgres backend. I've developed everything custom and didn't rely on a headless commerce solution.
