UKNM: Online retailer - proposed new European law

[Paul Gill]

It's been sent around by the IMRG, but this seems an appropriate forum for

discussion.


Would any other retail site owners on the list care to comment?


It looks like bad news to me - not that we'll end up losing revenue but

that the established payment & customer service mechanisms will be shaken

up a bit.


It applies to mail order, Internet or telephone orders.


Cheers,
