Allegro fined PLN 206 million for abusing dominance to favor its own store

Company: Allegro sp. z o.o.

Summary

The President of UOKiK found that Allegro abused its dominant position on the allegro.pl marketplace by favouring its own online store over independent sellers using the platform. UOKiK found that Allegro used information and platform mechanisms unavailable to competing sellers, making independent offers less visible and less likely to be chosen. In December 2022 the authority ordered Allegro to stop the conduct and imposed a PLN 206,169,786 fine. Because appeal closure was not established in this review, the record is marked unresolved.
