Walmart's digital marketplace has seen explosive growth over the last year, but it hasn't come without a cost. In an effort to scale quickly, Walmart has made it easier for third-party sellers to join and list products on its e-commerce platform, CNBC reported, citing employees and sellers.
An investigation by the network found that these lax policies have led to an increase in the number of third-party retailers who aren't who they say they are. CNBC found at least 43 vendors who had posed as other, established companies in order to set up their accounts.
