It was because of the problems mentioned above that I dropped out of using the marketplaces that I endeavored with, and due to the high fees of around and up to 20%, that I chose not to use others. I will definitely be downloading and exploring this new kind of marketplace to re-enter e-commerce and list my dormant inventory (due to running from Mercari's harassment), as well as the fashion I have designed and created recently. Another similar platform is Peerhub that I am also enthusiastic about. I will definitely speak up to others about these terrific platforms to help get them rolling. So long sleezebay, Mercari and.... ! I will no longer be a slave to them and walk on freakin' eggshells so as not to anger the Gods, nor read about 721 pages so I know the do's and don't's to follow so the unforgiving, uncompassionate Nazi 'vetting departments' don't give me the axe for eternity because one single buyer doesn't understand the term 'lot' (thinking it means a whole case) and thusly gives me a bad review....etc, etc. (Search 'eBay seller complaints' on Google for stories of woes of good sellers. So sad are the dashed hopes, broken dreams, and destroyed livelihoods of good, hard working people who pursued self employment through the use of eBay.)

Thanks for the great article and elaborating further beyond the website content!
