- Evidence of higher order frequency, lower return rates or improved contribution margins in value-led categories.
- Emphasize low-price assortment and regional-language seller onboarding to preserve penetration in value retail.
- Increase direct supplier onboarding, catalog quality controls and logistics integration to reduce dependence on reseller-led discovery.
- Use reseller and seller activity data to target ads, working-capital partnerships and merchant services.
- Tighten fraud, returns and product-quality controls as informal seller participation expands.
