## Invented scarcity isn't marketing — it's a breach

A countdown that restarts once it expires. A "only 2 left" that is always 2 left. **Those aren't aggressive tactics, they're misleading commercial practices** — and the European rules on this are explicit, with fines calculated on turnover.

## And the fine isn't the expensive part

The customer noticing is. Once someone works out that your countdown lies, they won't believe the real one either. _You've devalued your own urgency._

## The good news: real scarcity is enough

A sale that actually ends. A stock level that actually falls. A waitlist that actually exists. It works better — because it's true, and because you can do it again.
