“Avito” opposed the registry of sellers through “state services”

“The new bill suggests that any user, before selling their jeans or a little stroller for babies on the advertisement website, will have to go through verification through” state services. “According to the results of internal surveys , our users are very likely that in the sake of individual sales, more than half of the citizens will refuse to undergo this verification, ”said the press service.

Why Avito against the registration in “Public Services”? The company said that 40% of sellers in this case will go to social networks and messengers, which will negatively affect their self -data and their personal data. This information is contained in the Vtsiom Expert Report “Go to the positive side: Strategies to” enter “sellers in electronic commercial markets.”

On the subject: “Many nuances”: how the registration in “Public Services” will affect the villagers

Avito explained that they would invest in the safety of the site and the one built in messenger, and the identification system proposed through the “public services” “will squeeze users of a safe environment to the non -controlled area of ​​foreign messengers.”

What are the alternatives? The company believes that more effective in achieving the objectives of the bill could be the introduction of the mandatory verification of the businesses and users who have “signs of without scrupulous behavior.” According to Avito, a “public services” account has less than 50% of small and medium enterprises, therefore, it is advisable to provide them with the opportunity to undergo alternative forms, for example, through ID and bank details.

• Previously, Wildberries also expressed “critical disagreement” with the bill. These measures will lead to commercial costs, the company emphasized.

• According to the bill destined to combat fraud, it will be required that ADS services, whose daily assistance exceeds 200 thousand Russian users, identifies all advertisements of people with the help of “public services.” If 300 thousand users are exceeded, the services must provide the possibility of additional authentication through a single biometric system.
