The interesting part there is the seamless transition from seller/people to scammer. I believe the policy will eventually have to change to accommodate innocence until proven guilty.

There are some pretty dramatic stories out there with people getting unusual amounts of orders forcing them to buy unusual amounts of materials and do unusual amounts of work which creates an unusually full agenda and may drain finances to the edge... and then they don't get their money or the orders are refunded after delivery and they don't get proper assistance resolving the issue. "We wont tell you what you've done wrong because of reasons" is really the stuff you want to hear at that moment.

Not sure what the solution should be but I wouldn't want a role in that movie.

What is the problem usually? We don't know? How do you fix an unknown problem? If it is that someone is selling an unusually large amount it seems doable to limit the number of widgets they may sell in stead of platforms taking more orders they know cant be resolved.
