## Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable

1. Listing requirements determine whether new sellers can prepare suitable information before submission. Clarify the named content or format requirement without treating perceived readiness as platform approval.
2. A difficult setup instruction locates friction in the seller's first listing workflow. Inspect the relevant step using synthetic data rather than asking for account credentials or private inventory records.
3. Unexpected requests reveal where onboarding failed to explain required information in advance. Improve the explanation and collection scope without encouraging disclosure of sensitive seller details in feedback.
4. A review route helps sellers check the submitted listing's actual content and state. Distinguish saved, submitted and approved statuses before rewriting guidance or suggesting publication has succeeded.
5. Support needs show which uncertainty is likely to recur in another listing. Offer a verified help route or example while preserving the seller's responsibility to check actual platform requirements.

Interpretation caution: Do not collect seller credentials or imply platform approval from a survey answer.
