I continue to find it excruciatingly frustrating to see all those easily available boards on the BatchPCB Marketplace, but without the slightest shred of description or reference to a schematic diagram, parts list, or ANY useful information about the board. Why even bother to offer this service is everything is a black box?
I totally agree … bare PCB designs with NO documentation (not even a schematic or a bill of materials) are USELESS.
To post a design for sale, a complete schematic and bill of materials should be REQUIRED, or at least I should be able to filter out those that don’t.
The way it currently stands the ‘marketplace’ is a joke.

No sure why you guys would want to bash BatchPCB because of this and not the person who developed the board. It is up to user to provide links to this documentation in the description field if they decide to do so.
Could it be more user friendly? Yes But that is not a showstopper for me.
