Thinking of Selling Online?
Wednesday, August 17, 2011
It's no longer difficult to set up an
online shop - in fact you can probably set one up in an
afternoon. But do you know about the regulations that govern
online selling and marketing?
There are two main pieces of
legislation that you need to comply with before your website goes
live.
1. Consumer Protection(Distance
Selling) Regulations 2000
2. Electronic Commerce (EC
Directive) Regulations 2002
To make things easy for anyone looking
for an understanding of what they need to do the Office of Fair
Trading have just set up a free website to help.
The Distance
Selling Hub gives you a quick guide to the regulations to make
it easier to stay trading legally.
