فقدان العملاء بسبب تأخر حل النزاعات (Customer Churn Due to Slow Dispute Resolution)
For platform with 5,000 active sellers: 2-5% quarterly churn = 100-250 sellers/quarter = AED 500,000-2,500,000 lost GMV/quarter (assuming AED 10,000 avg GMV per seller) = AED 2-10 million annual revenue loss. For 10,000 buyer cohort: 1-3% quarterly churn = AED 100,000-500,000/quarter in lost transaction fees.Marketplace disputes that take 30-90 days to resolve (traditional mediation + court scheduling) drive seller de-listing and buyer platform switching. Users perceive slow resolution as platform failure, not regulatory constraint. Competitors with integrated ODR (Noon, Amazon equivalents) capture dissatisfied users. Each lost seller = lost marketplace commissions and transaction volume.

Assuming average dispute value AED 10,000-50,000: AED 10-40 million annual working capital drag at 8% cost of capital = AED 800,000-3,200,000 annual financing cost.Marketplace platforms face extended time-to-cash cycles due to manual dispute workflows. Traditional court litigation can span months; even court-annexed mediation requires scheduling delays and sequential hearings. Manual evidence submission and review by court-appointed mediators or arbitrators introduces 15-40 day processing windows per cycle.
