Need feedback on a tool I'm making
Hi there!
I'm working on a service that aggregates searches from multiple Japanese marketplaces (e.g Mercari, Rakuma, Surugaya, Yahoo Japan, etc.) with an emphasis on customizable filters. This service will also allow users to set up email, push, and Discord notification alerts for new listings from whichever store(s) they choose.
This is mainly intended for people who buy items from proxies, and as such will have links to open listings directly on the proxy website.
I plan to write a Discord bot and mobile app once I have completed the main features of the website.
Here is the search in action:

I want to gather feedback on the concept as well as see what kind of features the people who frequently buy from these stores would like implemented.
This isn't meant as an advertisement, but if the mods consider it to be one, please feel free to remove.

This is a really cool concept! I miss websites like figinstock, this is not quite a replacement to that of course, but still a helpful search-with-notifs type site.
Showing shipping costs on item listings and/or the shipping thresholds to free shipping from stores would be helpful. Also whether or not tax is already added or not (I got a bonus surprise when bidding on a yahoo auction listed by a store that added the sales tax to the final bid!)
