How exactly is this useful for ecommerce in general?
One could argue that the data monopolistic nature in centralization is critical, but at the other hand, bringing a decentralized concept into a marketplace is not exactly new. Listia was one of the example. It introduces a lot of significant problems again later on, among which censorship and arbitration issue.

Please let me know why exactly is this needed at all in e-commerce? The idea of having a secure transaction as your strength is not a good idea at all. I can't imagine that my transaction via amazon, ebay, etc are not decently secure enough for the application (e-commerce).

runs.com is a revolutionary e-commerce platform for experiences. runs.com uses blockchain to fulfill its vision of being an open, democratic platform where members have the power to decide, create and buy/sell experiences on the platform. The inherent security and immutability of blockchain help build digital trust amongst members.

Current e-commerce platforms exert a lot of control on their users. They decide the products to be listed, decide on the pricing, decide on the sellers' et al. runs.com aims to change that by giving the control back to the users. We aim to go FROM Centralized Platforms TO a Trusted Decentralized Marketplace and FROM Electronic (SKU) Commerce TO Experience (XKU) Commerce. Eventually, the community will get to decide the kind of experiences to be listed on the platform.

At runs, we aim to build a platform that truly belongs to its members. The members have an entire control over their data, experience, and decision-making. So instead of control lying with the platform, the control is decentralized and lies with the members themselves. Eventually, a platform will allow peer-to-peer transactions and blockchain will help build digital trust for those transactions.
