The middleman from hell is always waiting, ready to screw you over for their own benefit.

Amazon is known for its anti-competition practices. While they aggressively charge you for every sale you make, they also get to see all of your sales data; valuable information to have if you want to launch products. Even better if you plan on launching copycats! In more than one way, just by selling on their platform, they get you to pay them…to do their market research.

I love what particl is doing. Tried the marketplace, and it works. I hope it gets the attention it deserves.
