This clue might be a double definition.

'complaint' is the first definition.
(an objection or source of annoyance)

'european after purchase' is the second definition.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gripe that I've seen before include "Complain; colic (water)" , "Complain, grouse" , "carp" , "beef" , "Keep on complaining" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
