Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Turkey’s advertising regulator fined an online auto-parts seller 1,083,706 lira after the business listed a part at 111 lira but demanded 5,000 to 6,000 lira from buyers who tried to purchase it. The Reklam Kurulu also ordered the ads halted. The case highlights enforcement against misleading e-commerce pricing and bait-and-switch tactics in Turkey’s consumer market. Watch for the seller’s response and whether similar pricing complaints trigger further penalties.
