I believe your take on this is correct: it’s directed squarely at Temu, AliExpress, and the huge number of the same sellers who operate through Amazon. 100% Chinese market issues, for sub-standard suppliers.

And let’s not forget ebay and facepage marketplace or etsy here. Basically every big selling platform that operates internationally has the same ‘problem’ with ultra cheap sellers from the lands of Asia.

And also let’s not forget that we as hobbyists are part of the problem. How many of us have bought cheap stuff from the before mentioned sites for a “good deal”? Model street lamps, tiny rocks and gems, LEDs and aquarium plants to name a few.

As CheeseMe said: these rules where made with those big selling spots in mind but nobody thought of the one-man-show casting away in his shed with a washing machine spin caster.
