Nah retention isn't an issue for a product like this when the initial feature set was so minimal -- if they were subtracting from the original offering and getting rid of blocking it may have a significant effect, but churn is not a concern here. They may add it in as a nicety, though.
They've been running it in beta to identify their user acquisition cost, among other things, which is driving the specific percentage they settled on.
They certainly don't give much of a shit about seller quality as that's not a quantifiable KPI past the feedback mechanism, which is not particularly useful due to some cognitive bias issues etc. I think the whole point of the revamp was to position the products as if they're pre-curated and let the broader market do its job.
