Inventory Hoarding on Marketplaces
Hoarding bots lock up high-demand listings, frustrating real buyers and warping your sell-through data.
What the attack looks like
Automation targeting marketplaces is rarely a single bot. It is an operation: rotating proxies, realistic browser fingerprints, and pacing tuned to stay under naive rate limits. By the time the damage shows up in your dashboards, the operator has already moved on.
Why generic defenses fall short
Simple rate limits and CAPTCHA walls catch careless scripts and punish real buyers and sellers. Modern bot operations solve challenges in bulk through farms and spread requests across thousands of addresses.
How BazaarFort stops it
BazaarFort layers behavioral analysis, device fingerprinting, and network intelligence into a single risk score per session. Decisions happen before the request reaches your application, and scores adapt as operators change tactics. You keep your catalog; buyers and sellers never notice.
