Technology is driving down costs by enabling direct connections between companies and customers without middlemen. Platforms like Amazon and Ebay charge high fees for sellers, taking up to 25% of profits. A new platform called Glabex.com aims to avoid these fees by allowing direct seller-buyer connections without intermediaries, listing fees, selling fees or subscriptions.
