This is reported by RBC with reference to the text of the letter. RATEK claims that marketplaces set prices for products below the market level, including at their own expense. The association believes that such actions are illegal and constitute interference in the pricing policy of sellers of trading platforms. As a result, sales of household appliances in retail stores fell by 16% in 2024.

RATEK representatives also note that the price difference between online platforms and real retail reaches 20-70%. This forces retail chains to think about optimization and save money, which, accordingly, leads to a reduction in the number of jobs, a drop in tax revenues and a deterioration in the level of service.
Last week, marketplaces received an order from the Federal Antimonopoly Service to organize sales.
