eCommerce & the Growing Virtual Criminals

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010
Tina L Douglas asked:




Ever wonder why the World Wide Web is still a growing industry despite the recent downfall in the economy? That why on earth many are still earning over the Web despite the obvious Recession? I mean, even major worldwide companies had to close down because of it.

Well, it’s obvious that business over the internet are booming and still growing by the minute. So what’s the rave all about? It’s called eCommerce.

You might have heard about eCommerce once in awhile, but have you even considered it? Before anything else, let’s first know a little more about eCommerce. eCommerce is technically business ran through the use of the Internet. Generally speaking, the use of the internet ain’t the only technology that brings eCommerce to life, but it is undeniably part of the whole process.

To make things clearer, eCommerce can be better understood as the buying and selling of different products and services with the use of the Internet and other forms of technology. In short, internet is its center for transaction.

How does it work? eCommerce can consists of the following:

• Internet Marketing- consists of product over-all packaging and marketing it all over the Internet, where you can target consumers and potential consumers

• Online Transaction Processing- it is when consumers put bids or orders for your product

• Electronic Data Interchange- when the order has been made, information’s are exchanged between the buyer and the provider such as personal information & credit card number.

• Electronic Funds Transfer- the mode of payment that has been agreed upon by both parties

There are other factors that contribute to the whole process of eCommerce like the actual shipment, and Inventory’s on the part of the Providers. As mentioned, there are other forms of technology that aids in making eCommerce possible, like the use of credit cards, ATM’s, & Telephone Banking.

eCommerce success can be attributed to the growing trend of the widely used Internet service. We are indeed undeniably living in a world where everything is run by the World Wide Web- where everything is literally just one click away.

But there is still the unquestionable hesitation looming in the air. We can’t blame people from shying away from this trend. The Internet- is and still will be- an unsecured world. There is always the question of security when it comes to the World Wide Web- it is still considered an Imperfect Technology after all.

The non-stop problems arising from identity theft is only but one problem that raises concern among consumers. When it comes to eCommerce, it’s no question that in order to make the transaction possible, certain personal information are needed to be divulged for it to be successful. And that, in itself is a problem. There is no assurance that your information would stay confidential. Today, in a world where almost everything is virtual, even criminals are adapting to the change.

But despite the haters, eCommerce is indisputably a successful venture for businesses, and is still a growing industry today and in the years to come.

Tina L Douglas asked:




Ecommerce can be applicable to regular contractual principles, mainly distance sales. However, it’s important to draw some difference between products or service is delivered through traditional means or electronically; or products or service are intended for commercial or personal use.

The development numerous products taken online isn’t clear whether products or services. Due to unknown situations related with ecommerce, it is unclear to distinct the two, commercial or noncommercial sales.

With short assessment of crucial law and provisions that could be direct or indirect significance to ecommerce, it’s logical to comment on a survey of regulation of ecommerce. Then, it is normal to check the legal provisions that were purposely modified to control ecommerce. Lastly, it’s logical to examine and evaluate up to where ecommerce may influence upon the contractual laws that was developed to regulate commercial transactions worked through traditional.

Contractual elements, that will normally be the primary concern of the parties, were identified for them to assess traditional commercial laws are applicable to ecommerce. Elements include, seller and buyer identification in relation to legal status, location or location of business, solvency, association within corporate organizations, etc.
This issue is important whether an entitled seller or not and an entitled buyer or not to the products in question:

1. In relation to intellectual property rights, where copyright or TM infringements may hinder with the buyer’s intended usage and goods or services that are subject to content control.
2. The procedure requirements regarding to offer presentation, counteroffers, offers declination, acceptance etc. to verify if and when a contract has been entered.
3. The predetermined terms for the contract regarding to the quantity and quality of goods or services, place and time of delivery, purchase sum and time and modes of payment etc.
4. Circumstances for fixing defective products with warranties and right for the buyer to return damaged goods.
5. Managing of confidential data in relation with the transaction.

Marketing practices and use of information gathered through other means raise separate problems regarding privacy and security.

Ecommerce constitutes yet one type of activities that may be electronically conducted and considered important elements of the emerging Global Information Society. Most problems related to such activity are transactional in nature. The regulatory environment being developed may influence the totality for other kind of online activities.

Virtual middlemen bring special opportunities and problems to the consumers and businesses. Services like brokering, referrals, search, one-stop shopping etc. and a number of different service providers and financial services have arisen who focus in financial insurance and e-payments etc.

Ecommerce plays a role where delivery requires to be carried across through traditional way since order completion and allocation as product design and other activities may be electronically outsourced which produce greater efficiency and minimized costs.

The need to coordinate initiatives on ecommerce with WTO commitments, c.f. the GATS and the Annex on Basic Telecommunications Services are pointed out by the EU commission. They pointed out that ecommerce symbolizes numerous separate trade issues that must be resolved within the WTO, Global Business Dialogue, New Trans-Atlantic agenda, Information Society Dialogue or others.
