Does Amazon or eBay get the same fine? Haha it’s the same people on all of these sites …. Just some dropshipping ?

I've been done by illegal electronics on Amazon too many times. They don't seem to care at all. You can still buy chargers on them that are in an advisory red list on gov UK....
I'm not against consumer protection but these moves seem political, Europe hate China just like Russia, they want to counter China economically.

Otherwise why fine out of the blue when this had been going for years.

And what about western countries violate those laws, lobbied or deliberately turning a blind eye.

Amazon is also under investigation under DSA, eBay is not big enough (in the EU) to matter under this law.
