That's still centralized the same way that Amazon is, they just don't use the same aggressive affiliate program.

A federated marketplace would be like if you could go to one portal and see posts from Target, eBay, craigslist, and Etsy all side by side, and the user could control their search and ranking algorithm instead of the marketplace selling the top spots. I would like that a lot.
