Many companies have started an online "marketplace" for other traders to use their brand page as a sales space. Eg Bunnings Marketplace. Basically somewhere to re-sell temu/aliexpress.
And i fucking hate it. Fucking five hundred goddamn marketplace results when i'm trying to fucking find out if my local Bunnings has a specific shelf bracket in stock.
This looks like it is some sort of weird scam or money laundering site. None of the prices make sense, and the products listed don't fit the information on what the company is about.
@RustyRaven @dumblederp @Baku There's a whole thread about these guys over on the Choice website: https://choice.community/t/online-websites-that-appear-australian-but-are-not/29603/9
The short answer is that NineLife is not owned by or affiliated with Channel Nine, or its TV channels 9Life or 9Now.
NineLife looks like it's based overseas, possibly in the UK or the US.
