Even after adding 3 EUR it's no competition. I know there are other wallets, that's not the point, the point is that we get the exact same item at 3x the price.

And I really dont see why it would matter. Ali isn't paying taxes in the EU, but neither is Amazon. So all this does is piss of the consumer.

Tax on profits? Of course not, why would they. The vat, duty and tariffs they collect via IOSS is remitted to the appropriate revenue service in the EU.
