1 down, 90% of the remaining marketplace sellers to go? Marketplace quality is dollar store bargain bin gambling at this point.
It's easy to see why this is happening too. Internal voices in fraud are drowned out by voices in growth who exclaim about the hit to revenue and conversion rate.
- gigatexal 5y agoYeah it’s getting there. The quality of listings is terrible too.

That's the result of competition, rather than search-engine limitations, no?
