eBay, AliExpess among six online platforms accused of selling illicit products in France

Investing.com -- French Commerce Minister Serge Papin revealed that a consumer watchdog identified six online platforms selling illicit products in France, according to an interview published in Le Parisien on Friday.

Besides Chinese fast-fashion retailer Shein, the platforms named were Wish, Temu, AliExpress, eBay, and Joom.

The announcement follows a recent controversy earlier this month when the French consumer watchdog reported finding child-like sex dolls and other illicit products on Shein’s marketplace, which sparked public outrage against the Chinese retailer.

The findings are part of France’s broader efforts to monitor and regulate online marketplaces operating in the country.
