Priori Data, the app “Wish – Shopping Made Fun” was downloaded almost 200 million times last year – just over ten million of those downloads were in Germany. This makes Wish one of the ten most popular apps on Android and iOS. However, service and product quality are often poor. Moreover, the platform is highly likely to be used to sell counterfeit goods. This is suggested by the sometimes very low prices, according to a recent article on t-online.de . The article states that these products are primarily sold by sellers from China and Asia. Nevertheless, there are apparently also many satisfied customers: “Many see ordering as a kind of gamble where you can win or lose with a small stake.”

At any rate, this is indicated by the sometimes very low prices, according to a recent article on t-online.de . Accordingly these products are sold above all by salesmen from China and Asia. Nevertheless, there are obviously many satisfied customers: “Many see the order as a kind of game of chance, where you can lose or win with a small stake”.
