eu looks make online safer shopping
Shopping online using credit cards has become so mainstream that it's hard to remember a time when Internet shopping didn't exist. Shopping online makes perfect sense: it's efficient and convenient, and it makes comparison shopping much easier. Though most online retailers utilize sophisticated systems to keep their servers safe from hackers and other Internet fraudsters, there are still a numbers of best practices consumers should heed to ensure that each and every online shopping experience is as safe as possible.

A few years ago, online shopping began to boom as the increasing number of broadband connections and better understanding of online security issues sent more and more people online to make purchases. Now, however, the online boom is finally starting to slow, with year-to-year growth having dipped to single digits. That's in part the result of the slowing of the economy but also a factor is a new generation of internet shoppers with expectations that are actually ahead of what some sites can deliver. Web sites’ relationship with customers has become a key part of online shopping, says a new report from eMarketer, and consumers’ expectations have risen as sites look to add features like video capabilities, 3-D displays and virtual dressing rooms.

WILMINGTON, Del. - (Business Wire) The impact of the credit crunch is expected to effect holiday shopping as projected consumer spending online remains steady at $100 - $250 on average.

The European Commission has proposed a set of rights for online shoppers based in the EU in order to make buying products online easier, safer, and more consumer-friendly. The Commission says that the goal in proposing these rights is to not only boost consumer confidence, but to also "cut red tape which is holding back business within national borders—denying consumers more choice and competitive offers." The more consumers are willing to shop outside of their home country's borders, the more e-commerce will grow within the EU.

On 8 October 2008, the Commission launched a proposal for a Directive on consumer contractual rights. The proposal comes about as a result of the Commission's review of the EU's "Consumer Acquis", i.e., the body of consumer law at EU level. The review concluded that there is a fragmented regulatory framework of consumer protection rules operating in the EU, and therefore a need for greater harmonisation. The proposed Directive (COM(2008)614), while certainly applicable to ordinary high street shopping for all kinds of consumer goods, also aims to give EU citizens more confidence to shop over the internet. Hong Kong sellers will therefore be directly affected by the proposed provisions, once they enter into effect in the Member States.
