  services/products.

  e-commerce platform.

  they are more scalable.

6. INVENTORY SIZE

• In e-commerce platforms, large inventories allow
  buyers to find what they need.
• Such inventories must have room for stocking
  extra products.
• Marketplaces dont need inventories with stocks
  of sellers already in place.
• No additional costs are involved in maintaining
  inventories of marketplaces.
