I honestly don't understand the 3rd party seller thing.
I went from buying almost all PC parts from NewEgg (without even bothering to price shop), to pretty much avoiding the site entirely.
If you look at almost any of the 3rd party sellers' pages and sort by rating, you'll pretty much see the same pattern on all: a tiny handful of 4-5 star reviews, 1 star reviews by the bottom of page 1, and the remaining 80 pages of products have no reviews at all.
Is this really helping Walmart/NewEgg/Amazon/etc vs them just selling the same products directly themselves? Why do this -- are they just trying to avoid these sellers starting competing no-name e-commerce sites?

Why do this -- are they just trying to avoid these sellers starting competing no-name e-commerce sites? My thought would be this allows them to pivot from being a "logistics" company to being a "tech" company, providing a "platform" for others.
