Wesfarmers plans to shutter online marketplace Catch [formerly Catch of the Day], putting around 190 jobs on the line after recording significant operating losses.
Wow! I hadn’t seen that one coming. Still, I guess it makes sense. I’ve only ordered a couple of things from there, but it seems to be mostly random “marketplace” sellers on there, which makes it basically just low quality, Australian, Amazon

Catch lost its identity when it became an Amazon competitor. At least selling one thing a day at a massive discount was an interesting gimmick. It just didn’t stand out enough as a regular online store
