I see what you're saying, but I'm not curating products--I'm curating online stores on which users can then find products. Does that make sense?

I understand what you are doing. It makes sense in the sense that it's easy. And it makes sense in the sense that there are a myriad of webscraping "middleman" services so there's probably a business there.
However, to me, it's not curation in a meaningful sense because big box stores sell the same white label oven mitts from the same factories as Amazon. And for oven mitts and filling drawers fakes aren't a problem when purchasing from Amazon.
It's not clear to me, what problem it would solve. But I wish you all success.
