"Shein, like Take A Lot, Amazon, etc, are online stores, with room for any retailer to list their items to be sold. Yes, Shein has dupes, but here? What if Zinhle listed?"

@anele16520382 criticised the posts:

"I think you did more harm than good with this post; some of us didn't know SHEIN even had this; now it's free advertisement."
