It's great to see XmrBazaar user kept growing although it is doubtful that it's made of legit user as there is possibility of burner account. With this growth I want to give a suggestion to help seller on XmrBazaar make more sale which is by giving the platform a social media feed system or at least making it like how Steam design their feed for the customer.

Even a basic algorithm should be a great boost for seller to make a sale and found the right type of buyer. We already have favorite feature for user to add a product that they like to a favorite list. Based on this we can give more recommendation based on the tag that exist on their list.

The utilization of feed algorithm greatly boost sale. This has been proven true by the indie game dev that sell their product in Steam game store which recently change their algorithm to boost indie small title.

article: https://80.lv/articles/steam-quietly-made-a-huge-discoverability-change-for-indie-games

"In one example shared by Bender, an unnamed indie game received 7,355 visits from the Discounts & Events grid over six months. Of those visits, 7,341 occurred during the most recent month, meaning that the game had received only 14 visits from the same placement across the preceding five months.

For that particular title, a source of traffic that had effectively not existed became its largest source of visits from anywhere inside the Steam store."

I know this will give a certain type of tracker to user but given that XmrBazaar didn't require any personal data to sign up, it's problem proven minimal in for the user privacy and in return give greater benefit for the Monero economy as a whole. Steam is a good example because they have good history with protecting the right and the privacy of their customer and the developer and it could become the inspiration for XmrBazaar to follow suit.

I'd try an opt-in "Following" tab first: let people choose tags or sellers, show matching listings newest-first, and put "shown because you follow X" beside each card. Keep the normal browse view and make unfollow/mute obvious. That gets relevant listings in front of interested people without treating every click as a confession.

No real-name signup doesn't stop a long-lived account's favorites becoming an interest profile. Explicit subscriptions at least let the buyer choose the inputs instead of having the site infer them.

The Steam example you've quoted measures a jump in visits, not purchases. For a trial here I'd count listing opens and completed orders separately, and check whether new sellers get discovered too. Worth testing before adding a more elaborate ranking system.
