Hundreds of Chinese E-merchants Protest Temu Scams, Denouncing Endless Fines as E-commerce Pirates

Several hundred cross-border e-commerce sellers started a collective protest on July 22nd. They gathered at the office location of Temu, Pinduoduo's cross-border e-commerce business, in Aoyuan Building, Panyu District, Guangzhou, protesting against Pinduoduo's arbitrary deductions and penalties.

When scamming gets so out of hand the scammers are being scammed

[denis]

Well, most of those sellers are scam too. Now they know how it feel.

[yearstockcycle]

Wow, Temu scams Chinese people, too.

[alaypatel]

I also got scammed by temu once. Lost $60 on their false products. Youtube never stops temu ads. That must be a combined scam.

[kakashisensei]

Never did shopping from Temu. It’s always seem fishy for me.

[garys]

The question is...Why are merchants doing business with Temu?

[xephael]

3:33 this is what it's all about... Temu is evil but scamming is built into the Chinese culture. They're pissed because they're not getting money from their scams

[malcolmliang]

Temu manages to scam both ends. That's crazy.

[lostlogic]

Once, sellers are the ones that scam buyers, now, the platforms are what scams the sellers. How the turn tabled.

[bluebomber]

Chinese people calling Temu scammers?
Well isn't that the tastiest side dish of hypocrisy if I've ever heard it.

0:38 Mr Wong sitting in the car said "whether it's illegal or not is determined by the law". Laws mean nothing if they are not enforced.

I have no sympathy for these TEMU sellers. So much of their crap is either poisonous, toxic or of ridiculously low quality, or most often counterfeit. They should be banned worldwide. The whole world is sick to death of Chinese junk.

[datuhenson]

when scammers get scammed by a bigger scammer.

[TheMagicalPoison]

Boycot buying from Temu. Besides, the quality of their products are so poor.

[jorgeyipzhong]

I shop with Temu once, I remember the price before I paid was $40-$50 and after I paid it was litter bit over $80. Now I’m pretty sure Temu is a Crooked scam company

[KabukeeJo]

Sellers selling substandard Chinese made junk crying that they are getting robbed. How ironic.

[itgirl_nyc]

Solution: if all sellers boycott Temu, Temu will go out of business. Temu sells a lot of junk anyway.

[potterj]

Having worked in this industry there is no way I would deal with that platform. It's a whole different ideology in charge with Temu.

[w.urlitzer]

these people only protest when their own scams fail.

Do not centralize this company for all your needs like you do for Amazon. They will corner the marketplace and you will be at their Mercy. They will also use their profits for illegitimate reasons that likely will be used against you. It's already reported that they collected an incredible amount of information on you and more than the average company.
