What Users Complain About

Sellers frustrated by rising platform fees (seller fees + shipping costs increasing while sales decline). Buyers note inflated prices compared to alternatives like Amazon. Fee structures unclear and changing frequently without warning.

What Users Will Actually Pay

Sellers express willingness to pay for features that actually drive sales (better search visibility, analytics, promotion tools) rather than cosmetic updates. Current pain is paying high fees while getting worse service and fewer sales.

Subscription vs One-Time Purchase

No clear preference expressed, but frustration centers on paying percentage-based fees when platform isn't delivering value (broken search, poor support). Suggests subscription model for premium seller tools could work if tied to tangible benefits.
