Unfortunately enforcement requires man-power. Even if you can automate a lot of the process, you still need people to deal with false positive and other disputes. Man-power costs money.
- radicality 2y agoIs it about manpower? My thinking would be it’s just about revenue. Every sale a seller makes is revenue for Etsy. Kicking out sellers means less revenue. Which is why, similarly, Amazon doesn't care about fake items being sold on their store. Every sale on their site is revenue, so no incentive to kick out any sellers. Though we’ll see how that pans out long term. I still shop on Amazon, but significantly less than in the past after too many fakes. Have moved a lot of my online shopping to HomeDepot / B&H / Walmart (no marketplace), or direct from the website of whatever the product is.
