It's a great marketplace, don't get me wrong, I love selling and purchasing on it, but it needs much better moderation. Low quality submissions kill discoverability. Selling ebooks that you can get for free from Anna's Archive should get your account banned immediately. There needs to be a very, very long list of banned low quality listings that should get your account banned immediately. There should be no tolerance for it. It's like a cancer. You can't let it spread.

@beer There’s a lot of useless stuff there. A bunch of people are selling tacky things nobody wants for over prices.
@ancap_objectivist amazon has pretty much a monopoly, therefore the experience isn't decisive for growth anymore
They need to expire listings to remove the junk. If something is not sold is 30 days, for example, it goes away completely. The junk compounds over time. A handful of reliable vendors is infinitely better than thousands of ones created and abandoned.
I like this approach. I like Xmrbazaar because it offer real functionality and it even got moderator and there already alot of seller establish themselves as trustworthy. It's unfortunate how it filled with spam most of the time now. It really need to clean up the spam and maybe actively feature seller that perform well and well trusted in the website
