About Our Site

OnlineShoppingRights was formed to offer a unique reference point on staying safe when shopping online.
Every year people are using the Internet more and more to make purchases for goods and services. However, with the huge increase in E-commerce it has become more and more difficult to discern the safe and reliable sellers from the less reliable ones. This can be of particular concern when using online price comparison websites.
Although consumer rights online are founded on the same principles as, for example, buying in person there are additional regulations to which sellers must adhere. This site explains these regulations clearly and in plain English to give consumers a solid grounding as to their rights and obligations, as well as information on how to stay safe online.
OnlineShoppingRights also provides tips and relevant information for people wanting to sell online, whether they are thinking of starting an E-commerce website or expanding an existing business to give it an online presence.
