> Creating a Facebook Shop is free and simple.
That’s just PR speak. The truth, as it will be realized soon (if not suspected already), is that this will not be free. It will take away the freedom of the businesses and hold them to ransom for Facebook’s own benefit. Neither will it be simple to move out when the realization hits.
It’s a trap, IMNSHO!
- chaoticmass 6y agoI wonder how they will handle returns and such like when you sell on eBay or Amazon. eBay started out as simply a middleman who helped bring buyers to sellers, and then stepped out of the way. When bad sellers started scamming people too much and eBay started to get a bad reputation, they imposed very strict rules that made sellers lives much more difficult, even the honest ones. The PR speak says it will be simple. Sure. If your customer satisfaction metrics drop below 99.99999998% you lose your business. Simple!

- chillacy 6y agoGame theory would suggest that even if all individual business participants know this, they will still opt to sign up anyways because they're making locally optimum decisions. The paradox of advertising is well known as well, yet ad spend continues to go up. Unfortunately there aren't many solutions to the dilemma, there's always the illusion of choice but the reality ends up being coercive nonetheless.
