We do a number of things that limit the data that needs to be scraped e.g. key off of sale patterns / pair sites that tend to have the same price. Beyond that we do simple things to space out and decentralize.

Thanks for the quick feedback! We have listings open in new tabs as users expressed the desire to quickly open items as they browse to look more closely at later. I could see a different UI where users "save" items and then look a

Fun question! If we can, we assign the name that's within the context of the seller you're looking at. So, if the table is called the Kirby Entryway Table at Urban Outfitters, we call it that when you're looking at the table
