im relativity new to this site (think about 2 years) and was just wondering about the reasons the following stores got banned for Sockpuppeting (or banned in general)
jb hi fi
wish (obviously but think they are similar to other Chinese websites ali express slightly)
or are there any other stores that are banned and what are the reasons behind it
It's more if you post a deal and have fake profiles setup to vote it up, therefore getting more air time. Similar to posting fake reviews i guess.
JB Hifi had someone on their payroll that they directed to set up sockpuppet accounts to upvote deals?
Wouldn't be surprised, or they got commissions if they sold a certain number of mobile plans.
It's both…
Sockpuppeting.

It's more than not ticking the associated button, it's voting up any deal you have an association with or making comments without declaring association.
Wish is banned for selling counterfeit products.
ok and whats the reason behind jb hi fi
and ali express usually also has crap quality products
Aliexpress though is like Ebay but bigger (i think), whereas Wish knowingly sell knockoff items and refuse to refund.
It's probably what Wish is best known for really. Fake stuff that looks nothing like the pictures anyway.
ok and whats the reason behind jb hi fi
Sockpuppeting. I can only speculate but the issues are employees pretending they see mobile deals in certain stores. My guess is that get some commission from these Telstra/JB deals.
and ali express usually also has crap quality products
ok then
Sockpuppeting means using an account to post a deal without ticking the associated button so I assume that.
It could be that jb hi fi does not allow staff to post deals so it was the only way staff could post deals.
