AI Verdict
Confidence: HighMarketplace has failed to gain traction with $0 MRR and -100% growth, indicating fundamental product-market fit issues. The chicken-and-egg problem is particularly severe for auction marketplaces.

Offrir des enchères en tant que service aux propriétaires de sites web afin qu'ils puissent maximiser leurs revenus, de manière similaire à une plateforme publicitaire, mais qui peut être adaptée aux besoins et à la structure du webmaster. Les enchérisseurs ne sont facturés que lorsqu'ils remportent l'enchère. Je prévois de n'autoriser le paiement que pendant l'enchère et de capturer le paiement uniquement lorsque l'enchère est terminée, généralement de 1 à 5 jours après la capture initiale du paiement.
