Virtual shopping spree
Published: 10.11.2009
Got a serious online shopping addiction? Or have you heard of this new fangled thing called internet shopping and you want to give it a go?
People tend to think that buying things off the internet makes the rules a bit murky. But the law doesn’t actually change when you are buying online. Buying from a website at a fixed price is like buying from a shop. The only trick is finding out what country the shop is in. You’ll also want to consider how you pay for it and any extra costs that may be involved.
See our Word of Advice column to find out what laws apply and what to look out for when internet shopping.
