I heard that it is illegal to run a promotion like 'buy one get one free' in Germany.

Supposing UK site (it is quite normal promotion here) sold a product to a German customer and they got one free, would the UK site in the wrong side of the law?

Can someone confirm this?

How about looking at it at a differnt angle....

Buy 1 at $x.xx
Buy 2 at the same price..... There is no free items - jut the option of 1 or 2 at the same price.....
