Is there a online shopping platform that is EU based? Have you used any or heard of cool related projects?

Also the platform being privacy oriented would be a big plus.

But watch out for the smaller items. They have decent prices on big items, but all of the small stuff is pretty hit or miss as far as pricing goes. Sometimes it is cheaper to go to the seller's own website and order (since bol does a ton of storefront sales like amazon marketplace or whatever it is).

Also Coolblue, Alternate, Megekko, and azerty for tech items

For home automation stuff, ROBBshop.nl and slimmedingen.nl instead of bol or coolblue.

Tru dat mate. I usually use http://tweakers.net/ to see who has the best price.
