Marktplaats bans sales of delivery worker apparel ahead of curfew

Online market platform Marktplaats is actively banning ads selling second-hand jackets and other accessories from meal- or package delivery services. In anticipation of the government implementing a curfew, more and more people were offering delivery uniforms for sale in the expectation that delivery workers would be exempted from the curfew, ANP reports. "As part of the fight against the pandemic, we do not allow products that aim to circumvent the rules," a spokesperson for the online market said to the news wire. A Marktplaats team started removing and blocking ads selling clothing for delivery services like Thuisbezorgd.nl, Deliveroo, PostNL and DHL on Tuesday.
