Keep the Customer
On a rented shop, the platform owns the relationship.
When they change the fees, freeze a payout, or bury the listing, you start from zero. The customer was never yours. The aisle was.
What you actually keep
A Plebeian stall is signed by you. Payment goes to your wallet. Delivery details stay off the public record. The person who bought from you is still your person.
That is the business. Not the storefront theme. Not the algorithm. The relationship.
Why this is not a slogan
Listings are not a row in a company database you rent by the month. They are signed by your key. Compatible doors can read them. If one website closes, the stall can still be read.
You do not need the whole toolbox to start keeping the customer. You need one listing, and a way to talk to the buyer.
Start
List one thing. Or buy from a person this week.
