In this episode, I emphasized on having a community as one of the biggest factors a seller does not hold back. That said, not having a community is one factor holding new sellers back. The absence of a supportive, like-minded community can hinder new sellers from gaining valuable insights, advice and encouragement which is crucial for success in the competitive marketplace.
 
Additionally, the impact of fees and advertising is also discussed. I hope you gain valuable insights and actionable tips for overcoming challenges faced as new sellers on the platform.
