consumer and fraud unit and the consumer association UFC have investigated how independent such sites are from the companies
presented. 11 out of 12 sites were reminded about the regulations in force,
since they were not respecting them. Five sites incorretly made the consumers
believe that their selections of traders were exclusive. One privileged their
trading partner that were paying for a better presentation. Packaging and post
may or may not be included. The sites may be useful, but it is advised not to depend exclusively
on them.
