Services like eBay are part platform, part people. eBay’s people do a lot behind the scenes to ensure it runs smoothly and ethically… AND they take a significant chunk of the proceeds. You could put up some free software that does auctions but you wouldn’t have all those high paid security and trust workers working for you.

How many Jeffrey Epsteins and Martin Shkrelis would we have BTW?

REDACTED, so… really not great.
