For some years now, Shopify has turned a blind eye to rampant fraud and deceptive practices across their entire platform.

There is an epidemic of sellers claiming to be making products in the US, while dropshipping cheap, low quality junk from aliexpress.

The problem is that Shopify has actually provided the tools and training to these sellers, teaching them that this deceptive practice is a legitimate and legal model.

This must stop now.

Shopify must either hold these sellers accountable for their fraud, or the people will hold Shopify accountable in the highest courts available.
