There is no distinction between users and admins.

I’m sorry, but this is an absolute horror show of a sentence.

You can set up your own instance if you feel like there is a demand for it in your city.

Why would I need a whole new instance for that? What benefit is there to locking an *instance to a region rather than a listing* to a region?

Its not a technical limitation. Its not even a functional limitation for the trade or sale of someone’s stuff.

What happens when that server owner changes their region that they live?

Do you expect each person to stand up their own instance?

How do I, *as a user*, and lets assume I don’t have the technical ability or the infrastructure necessary to support standing up my own instance, use flohmarkt in the United States?

What technical reason is there for this limitation?

What functional reason is there for this limitation?
