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.
