Title: did the total number of sellers just jump?
Post by: dickalpert on February 07, 2012, 10:15 pm
I just noticed the total # of sellers at 306. Wasn't this more around 250 until very recently?

It's been over 300 for at least a week, I think the recent media exposure just invited more people to join both as vendors and buyers

From what I can tell, there are over 1,100 vendors, although the number of vendors with active listings is currently a little over 300. There were around 250 active vendors in the second week of January.

The increase could be from people buying new vendor accounts, but also from existing vendors listings products again.

Pretty sure there's a bug in SR listing some buyers as sellers (even though they don't have access to any of the seller-specific pages on the site).

I agree on that bug as well what i want to know is what the seller number goes by .. it seems to just kinda jump on it's own
