I don't think it's necessarily an easy problem to fix. They have one of the world's largest logistics systems built around letting anyone use it to sell or buy, all while keeping one product page per unique item being exchanged. How do they easily filter out bad actors from such a massive system?

on: Shady Numbers and Bad Business: Inside the Esports Bubble
It seems to me like there's a mismatch between the traditional sports business model and esports. E-sports may not end up looking like the NFL. It could just be individuals with huge followings.
