risks we continue to monitor are (1) macro-driven demand softness, with ASPs (~-3%) and

conversion (~-5%) pressured since March amid a more selective consumer; (2) demand elasticity

and promotional calibration, as management balances pricing and discounting to sustain

conversion without pressuring margins; (3) supply scaling, with demand currently outpacing

supply (items per buyer declining), requiring continued execution on seller acquisition, premium

mix, and processing capacity.

Normalizing After Strength: ASP and Conversion in Context

the consumer has become more selective rather than fundamentally weaker, and highlighted

that pricing and conversion remain within a healthy range relative to historical levels. The

near-term focus is on optimizing pricing, curation, and promotional strategy over the next
