Shopee is for the East outside of China and Latin America as [[Amazon]] is for much of the West. Shopee has been named the largest e-commerce platform in southeast Asia, with almost half of the the region's $47.9 billion in total gross merchandise volume in 2023 being attributed to Shopee.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ecommerce in Southeast Asia 2023 |url=https://momentum.asia/product/ecommerce-in-southeast-asia-2023/ |url-status=live |access-date=19 Mar 2025 |website=Momentum}}</ref>

Coincidentally, Shopee is known to engage in unethical behavior similar to Amazon. While Shopee does not sell the majority of its products directly and relies on a vast number of sellers to shape its online marketplace, the fact that unethical or illegal practices have been allowed to continue for years and are still present to this day without any intervention suggest that Shopee is complicit in misleading consumers.
