    Anonymous, 23 Nov 2021Italy running short on money, they need to make some money ... moreNope, they're hitting corporations where it hurts, and serves them right.

      With all the respect, but this article has a problem of lacking the main verb of some sentences.

              Vikass17, 23 Nov 2021If I want blabla to sell my products , blabla will sell it.... moreIt's anti-competitive because this practice will kill smaller stores, use some common sense next time. And cross-border selling is not illegal, if you didn't know Italy is part of an union called the European Union which forms a single market.

                EU- fine others in whatever way in their own court and the money is theirs.

                  If I want blabla to sell my products , blabla will sell it.
                  How is this anti competitive ?
                  Aren't cross border sells kind of smmugling ?

                    Should use aliexpress or something... Amazon is insanely expensive. Should consider alternatives to Amazon. There are plenty out there. I literally built 2x homes on AliExpress.
