Overview
- Commerce Minister Serge Papin said six marketplaces — AliExpress, Joom, Wish, Temu, eBay and Amazon — were reported to the Paris prosecutor following DGCCRF investigations.
- AliExpress and Joom were flagged for alleged sales of child‑sex dolls, while Wish, Temu, AliExpress and eBay were cited for offering category A weapons such as brass knuckles and machetes.
- Wish, Temu and Amazon were identified for failures in required filtering to prevent minors from accessing pornographic images.
- Shein remains under judicial scrutiny with a Paris court hearing set for 26 November after a suspension request; the company removed illicit items but still faces proceedings.
- The ministry said case files are filed or being finalized, and Papin will convene EU trade ministers on 27 November to discuss the platforms’ impact on the single market.
