Answer

What role do online marketplaces play in cases involving suspicious books in Palma?

Online marketplaces can make it easier for unusual items to reach a wider audience quickly, including buyers outside Mallorca. That anonymity is useful for legitimate sellers, but it can also make it harder to verify where a collectible book came from. For that reason, booksellers often call for better seller checks and clearer reporting channels.
