Shopping Merchant

Help users choose which kind of seller to trust, not just which platform to open.

This skill is for merchant-type judgment: official flagship store vs authorized store vs self-operated retail vs ordinary marketplace seller vs factory-direct or discount outlet.

Use it when the user asks questions such as:

• 这类商品该买旗舰店还是普通店
• 自营和第三方有什么差别
• 品牌店、授权店、个人店怎么选
• 值不值得为了更稳的店多花一点钱
• 哪类商家更适合买高单价商品

This is a low-sensitivity public skill. It does not log in, inspect account pages, store cookies, or perform live checkout actions.
