Giving you a CSV with quantity that is "in-stock" could mean you need a new one in a few minutes at worst and few days more commonly. Consider a model like Groupon.com or Fab.com - one is dumping large quantities quickly and the other is moving small quantities of well crafted / unique goods.

The best attack vector is obviously approaching people like prestashop, 3dcart, tictail, etc and trying to get them all to agree on a format to put pressure on shopify. This would enable pinterest to get tens of thousands of merchants on their site with little friction or data rot.
