That's a good question and I don't have a clear-cut answer to that because I don't work for Etsy so it's hard for me to judge. But in general I think it's okay to accept not everyone from the entire world is on your platform and some curation isn't necessarily a bad thing. What would you rather have? 7.5 million sellers with a large number of them peddling crap or 50,000 high-quality sellers? That's already more than you could possibly browse or what's available in all of London, NYC, etc.
