We plan to add end to end encrypted comments. Shipping/order info will be shared in comments like that

This is great news for so many use cases. It will be a game changer.

For sure. We plan to do some weird stuff like this with “dms.”

On “marketplace” posts, you’ll be able to leave regular comments or place an order which basically begins an end to end encrypted comment thread branch with the seller.

this is not helping the sender who needs to send the goods tho, and shipping/order info can be easily solved when paid at their product site.

You mean shipping isn’t handled for them?

no, I mean as a seller, you would dox yourself in certain ways; the only secure way is what @Undisciplined said, if you are selling any physical products.

The seller dox itself when the sender address is placed in the parcel as return addres. In reality, you can use an address that is not related. A PO box is not always accepted. We have been looking into this and there are services that handle such things for you maintaining sender privacy safe.

However, it's a a complicated topic because there are many factors that influence pricing and delivery times. Without considering the privacy aspect, returns, refunds...

Also, when the seller pays for shipping --> the cargo company might know what you are doing, where the cargo is being sent out --> the customer knows which city you live in, etc.

correct.

Also, when the seller pays for shipping

Not if paid in bitcoin or the worse case fiat cash. Obviously it depends on also if KYC is required, I know some countries now ask for ID at the post office (unbelievable!)

There are ways, anyway, to preserve privacy when sending
