    What makes you say it’s a comic specifically about those websites?

    Looks like it’s depicting like a garage sale.

      Because no one posts a sign like that at a garage sale. It’s very clearly meant to represent a common experience, and that would be selling online.

        Cartoonist don’t necessarily draw things based on what’s commonly happened to people. Often they’re just drawing things that are funny regardless if whether they’re realistic. There’s just nothing I can see in the images that shows either way.

          Sure, but I think it’s pretty obvious here they are trying to relate to a common frustrating experience people have. And the funniest way to show that isn’t going to be two guys at a computer having the same conversation.
