Unfortunately, it wouldn’t be more than a symbolic middlefinger, because intra-EU sales are very difficult for private citizens due to how expensive it is to ship from one EU country to another. This is based on shipping prices as displayed on Ebay if you want to have something from e.g. Italy or Austria shipped to Germany a couple of years ago, but I doubt it got any better.
It absolutely isn’t expensive.
Send last year a big 30kg package from Austria to Germany (because I was moving but didn’t want to drive all the shit), was charged something between 20-30€, and I believe that’s the same price in all of the EU
That’s still called “shipping”. Though I bet it’s actually cheaper to send it from Italy to Hamburg via container ship and then load it onto a truck than to drive a truck from Italy to Germany.

20-30€ is more than the price of a lot of articles you’d want to buy …
20-30kg is also a lot heavier
all middle fingers are symbolic
Can’t they go by rail and/or truck like they do in North America?

Well there you go. 😁🙂
