Not until my orders arrive!
It’s a huge problem, 7 out of 10 people I know order from there almost every single day!
The EU should make their own online retailers but are a bunch of cowards who only block things that treath a market they never cared.
I heard Temu straight up does unauthorised credit cards payments.
I hope it’s just a rumour though.
Great. People need to stop ordering unnecessary, cheap, chinese shit.
I’m honestly surprised people actually buy this incredibly cheap sketchy garbage. Like I look at those ads and obviously waaaay too cheap to be true listings and think “I’m not giving them my payment details”
Hopefully they won’t crack down football replica kit retailers from China.
It’s like Europe cannot have the initiative in almost anything, even the question of these fast fashion retailers is raised only after the US did it.
They beauty of free market right? Unless Europeans start making cheap products people can actually afford, consumer will always choose the cheaper option.

SNL has a great sketch on this called [Fast Fashion Ad](https://youtu.be/MKTN2OiR2R8?si=tFuJDCPvN9jf-V3c).

Not everyone is wealthy enough.
