How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Fresh Whole Eel had 84 new listings in the last 30 days, more than double the 33 from the previous month. The catalog is growing quickly, so the offers available today are newer than those seen a month ago. Compare the listing dates when evaluating offers to ensure they reflect today’s market conditions.
Is the market busy?
No suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so the pool is entirely composed of long-standing sellers. Every supplier has a history of consistent listings, which makes it easier to assess reliability and consistency over time. The absence of new entrants means buyers are limited to sellers already established on the platform. Review each supplier’s listing history before reaching out to confirm stability.
