Yes, it is all agreed! But what about the buyers. If I am standing in a crowded marketplace and every shopper is calling me, what shall I do? people who prefer to buy silently will never visit a crowded place. They will go to decided shops with decided list and buy it. There is a feeling that if there are more sellers of same thing, lesser will be the prices. But as per the law of economics, price and quality can not be maintained low always.
This is the scenario of today's online shopping. Hundreds of portals are selling similar things. They are just calling you from social media, emails, messages (a digital street). If you are a peaceful buyer, you must have decided your portal already. If you are looking for lower prices, then you are not getting quality always. As portals and offers are increasing every day, we are not even thinking of it every time.
