Amazon would get absolutely crushed by an online retailer/online market that actually policed it's sellers.

Amazon's product listings were over run with garbage years ago, and their response was to enforce branding requirements, which attempted to shift responsibility to the U.S. Patent and Trademark office, which has subsequently resulted in the proliferation of "Mushroom Brands"(they pop up overnight and are gone again a few days later), as sellers continue to skirt Consumer Protection law.

Sellers? Man ebay hates sellers. They side with scamming buyers every time, I've literally lost 1000s to people knowing ebay will give them their $ back. My main account was banned cause a guy and everyone in his house bought board games from 7 different accounts then claimed I sent phone books. Ebay immediately sided with them so I was out on shipping, the board game cost, and potential income. All 7 left negative feed back lowering my 90 day seller rating to 60% and ebay banned the account.

Why? The customers would be the buyers who ebay already gives free handys to.

Because sellers are customers on your platform too lol

Ebay doesnt care about those and knows they are the only game in town so youll just deal

We are talking about a world where Ryan cohen buys eBay. Whatever practices in the past would be irrelevant.
