Italian watchdog fines online retailer YNAP more than $5 million
Italy’s antitrust agency has fined online fashion retailer Yoox Net-A-Porter (YNAP) 5.25 million euros (US$5.69 million) over misleading pricing and its returns policy.
The retailer advertised reductions on products on which the final sale price was “substantially the same” as the pre-discount price and blocked orders from customers who had previously returned more than a certain amount of purchases, the regulator said in a statement.
YNAP did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment from Reuters.
The regulator said the violations took place between 2019 and last year.
The business was controlled by Swiss luxury group Richemont until last year, when it sold a majority stake to luxury e-commerce specialist Farfetch and Dubai Mall developer Mohamed Alabbar.
