Update: Flipkart writes in to explain why they've made this change: "The decision to exclude the wallet for physical product purchases is due to the following reasons: - This is a temporary change until we get the required government approvals to run a marketplace wide wallet - The Flyte wallet will continue as a closed loop wallet only for digital purchases - Running a single seller wallet on the marketplace would have led to a bad customer experience - given our aggressive plans to scale up the number of sellers in the future." Update: It appears that Flipkart's marketplace is live, but we can't be too certain. On all product pages, we found that a clear mention of what are called "sellers". The only thing is that for every product that we looked up - see watches, games, music, toasters, movies, books, the seller was a company called WS Retail, which was believed to be a part of the Flipkart group, before a restructuring took place. It is believed that Rajeev Kuchhal bought WS Retail earlier this year.
