Increasing Demand for Inexpensive Advertising to Fuel the Market Growth

These online resources have also contributed to time savings and the achievement of goals.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Businesses' Concern over Fraudulent Activities to Restrain the Market Demand

• Safety complaints: Consumer protection bodies and platform safety pages indicate fraud/scam-related reports make up ~15–20% of classified dispute filings in surveyed markets.

• Monetization friction: Conversion from listing to paid/promoted listing is low in many regions — promoted listings conversion rates often range 1–5% of total postings.
