The RealReal 更新了防止机器人滥用的系统，因此自动化工具在网站上购买商品将更加困难。 The Verge AI 报道。
Change followed a few days after The Verge published that an automated tool could have used the item-reservation mechanism. After adding an item to the cart, it receives a "held" status and becomes unavailable to other buyers for 20 minutes.
The situation matters because the same reservation can affect the availability of rare items for both regular customers and automated purchases. However, the source is presented as metadata and does not confirm the scale of use, the number of affected orders, or details of the protection update.
editorial commentary
Why it matters
Likely consequence — tightening automated access rules to reservation of rare items and possible changes in cart mechanics. The next observed signal will be a description by The RealReal of specific measures or confirmation of their impact on purchases. Substantial uncertainty remains: the source does not disclose the scale of the incident and does not contain the company's primary statement in full.
