That would prevent them from making money without doing any work at all. The capitalist dream all in one checkbox.

This whole marketplace thing does not give me a warm, fuzzy feeling.
There is certainly a level of trust with Digi-Key that you won't get dodgy counterfeit parts.
But opening things up to third parties... I just don't feel comfortable with it. It's the narrow end of the wedge.

The way I see it... I go to Digi-Key to buy from Digi-Key.
Just not a fan of this "Amazonification" of things.

The first time I accidentally order something from some random marketplace vendor when I was trying to order from Digikey is the last time I try ordering anything from Digikey. Either turn it off by default, or provide a way for me to turn it off so that it stays off.
Bud:
Do they have rules/policies to vet marketplace vendors? Did they explain this anywhere?

There is a blue iOS-style slide "switch" there to turn it off, but...   :palm:
