AliExpress ▪ Marketplace Sellers Conditions ▪ January 4, 2026
On January 4, 2026, AliExpress modified its Marketplace Sellers Conditions to allow local sellers in Poland, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain to sell live ornamental plants. The policy now permits these sellers to ‘sell live plants within the country if they meet the compliance requirements’. An announcement released on October 14, 2025 stated that ‘plant seeds, living plants only for ornamental purposes rather than food purposes’ are authorized. ‘Agricultural and vegetable’ products are still prohibited for sale
AliExpress is a serious competitor for Amazon in the field of online shopping. The Chinese company has recently started delivering fresh food in South Korea and in London.
In November 2023, the European Union was already investigating AliExpress for distributing ‘illegal products such as fake medicines, non-compliant food, and ineffective dietary supplements’.
