Instead, individuals should cancel their own listings, “OpenSea claimed, adding that it is” working with a variety of product improvements consisting of a dashboard where they can easily see as well as cancel listings” to address the problem.
The platform added that, they “have actually been actively connecting to and compensating afflicted customers,” and they “have actually not interacted broadly concerning this concern because we did not want to run the risk of bringing it to the attention of bad actors that could abuse it at range before we had reductions in position.”
