Rakuten France: “They used us to shut down the marketplace,” Pixmania alleges

▤ Summary

Rakuten France plans to shut down its marketplace by year-end after failing to complete a sale. Pixmania says Rakuten used its offer to justify closing the business and questions the fairness of the process. Rakuten rejects that claim and says it evaluated all offers against job preservation, financial terms, and long-term viability. The dispute now centers on whether the search for a buyer was sincere and whether legal action could follow.
