EU-based ecommerce platforms as economic operators
In the EU, an ecommerce platform is considered the responsible economic operator for a product in case no other economic operator has been defined for that product.
As economic operators, ecommerce platforms have certain duties, which they would rather not have. For this reason, ecommerce platforms actively check if the products sold on their platforms have the address of an economic operator present.
