Makro marketplace migration mess

Makro's migration to an interim marketplace platform for third-party sellers has been plagued with issues that frustrate businesses selling their products on its online store.

In addition to selling products from its own stores, Marko's online marketplace has been open to products from third-party sellers since 2017.

Makro marketplace has always got issues. Funny you don't see sellers bitching about Takealots useless onboarding and their % of the cut.

Ordered 5 items the other day and they delivered then as 3 seperate orders over 2 days.
That can't be cost effective.

I did some marketing for them a good few years ago.
The impossibility is getting the higher ups, to see logic, reason, and correct use of technology, made me want to gouge my eyes out on a daily basis.
Interesting to see that nothing has changed.
They could have OWNED this space, but they pissed, farted, and burped it all away.

It's like they were taken over by Supersonic.
