@Blaze The other issue I find is that some people have a different view about what buy European is. There are some that think its ok to have US shareholders, or parent companies based in the US as long as the brand is headquartered in the EU. There are others who think buyeuropean is about things sourced and manufactured here. It's a minefield

@Blaze I think one of the problems is that people have to register before they can view so have no idea what is on there. Then there are so many different options with it being decentralised that nobody actually knows what is really out there. It took me a while to find that there was a buyeuropean page that seems to be a sharing site. Then a day later I found another one. Everyone wants to do their share but the whole effort is done by individuals across the EU but with no coordination.
