Marketplace sellers support team: 25 agents for 100,000 tickets/month
Marketplace seller support is mostly listing questions, seller onboarding and disputes, which are highly repetitive across accounts.
Verdict: Worth buying
- 1.6-month payback and 1.5x first-year return on a 12750/month platform fee.
- Headcount spans 18-32 agents across your industry's handle-time range. Measure your real AHT for two weeks before you budget - the band is usually wider than anyone expects.
- We phased the saving in over 12 months via attrition. Cutting 4 people on day one would cost roughly $65,331 in severance and is usually worse than phasing it.

This is one example. Get yours calculated.
These figures assume 100,000 tickets/mo. Leave your email and a person replies within one business day with the same evaluation for your actual ticket count and AHT — free, and fine to ignore if it is not useful.
