There are lots of benefits also for selling on marketplaces but today I will tell you only the cons and bad reasons.
1. You will born the competitors -
If you have a unique item then you should not sell it on the marketplace's website because when you stock out the marketplace sends email notifications to other sellers that this item is in top demand to arrange for stock. It means you will be born competitors for your brands. Some of the competitors make the same products with high research that can be good from the customer's point of view but few competitors just arrange for the same copy of an item from China, because they want to earn money in any condition. This tactic spoils trust in your item. Once you receive stock you will stop getting orders from customers. You will find lots of sellers selling the same item that they bought from the same cheap importer. So it is very dangerous.
2. Fake Returns -
If you have listed your items then lots of buyers will start to replace their old items with a new one. The buyers keep the new item and return the old item to the seller. Old items sometimes may be fake or look like the same item. Which you can not sell to next time. So it is a total loss of Items including shipping fees.
3. Fake Reviews -
Once your competitors are born they will start hiding the original product owner with the help of fake reviewers. You can easily find fake reviewer companies. These Fake review brokers attempt to profit by deceiving unknowing consumers.
