Executive Summary

Marketplace sellers (≈3M across major platforms) spend hours manually responding to buyer feedback and refund/return messages, risking visibility and account health when responses are slow, inconsistent, or non-compliant. This is especially painful for SMBs selling across multiple channels where a handful of negative reviews can meaningfully reduce sales and increase costs. You could build a lightweight SaaS that lets sellers define scripted workflows and AI-personalized templates to auto-respond to feedback across Amazon, eBay, Etsy and Shopify, with built-in A/B testing, scheduling, compliance guards and analytics. The product should require minutes to set up per store, integrate with existing helpdesk/CRM systems, and surface clear reputation metrics and ROI. The timing is compelling: a $900M addressable market (3M sellers × $300 ACV), an 88/100 market score and 80/100 revenue potential, driven by marketplace consolidation, stricter seller standards, and a shift to multichannel selling that pushes adoption of targeted automations. Sellers already buy single-purpose tools, so a focused solution that demonstrably improves feedback rates and response time can capture early adopters. To stand out, prioritize marketplace-specific templates, AI personalization that outperforms static replies, and transparent ROI measurement (uplift in positive feedback %, time saved). The main challenges are platform API limits and compliance risk, which are manageable with early marketplace partnerships and rigorous testing—if you can prove measurable gains, this idea is worth pursuing.
