The second year is where a market stops being a promise and starts being evidence. Profiles accumulate completed orders, disputes create precedent, and a buyer finally has something to read before spending.
The practical change in a second year is that vendor profiles stop being empty. A seller with a year of completed orders behind them, reviews spread across months and a visible record of how problems were handled is a completely different proposition from the same seller twelve months earlier. Nothing about the market changed, the evidence did.
A market with a year of arbitration behind it has patterns. Vendors know what gets refunded, buyers learn what evidence matters, and the process stops being theoretical. This is invisible from outside and it is one of the more important things a second year produces.
By this point address rotation is unremarkable maintenance rather than an event. Addresses change, accounts carry over, and users who kept a verified source bookmarked notice almost nothing. Users who did not are the ones who go searching, which is where the risk still lives.
Growth outrunning process is the common failure here, and it applies to vendors as much as to markets. A seller who takes more orders than they can fulfil properly burns a year of reputation in a fortnight. The buyer side lesson is to read recent feedback rather than lifetime totals, because a profile can look excellent while the last month has been poor.
