Marketplaces & Classifieds Platforms Reputation: Goofish (闲鱼 / Xianyu) (goofish.com)
Goofish is a ‘ghost marketplace’ that projects the shadow of a giant through metadata while providing the substance of an empty storefront.

Marketplaces & Classifieds Platforms Reputation: Goofish (闲鱼 / Xianyu) (goofish.com)

“The score of 33 is primarily driven by the Identity and Authority pillar (14/15) and Semantic Coherence (16/20). The total absence of structured data, coupled with the brand-identity drift to Taobao on sub-pages, creates a high BS environment where claims of being a 'leading platform' are not supported by the technical or content reality of the site.”
