The European Consumer Centres (ECC’s) in 29 European countries analyzed over 31.000 consumer complaints on cross-border online shopping received in 2010-2011. The major problems reported by consumers relate to problems with the delivery and to defective products. Few complaints relate to fraud but defrauded consumers find generally no redress.
After the presentation of the report "The European Online Marketplace Consumer Complaints 2010-2011”, the ECC-Net will give the floor to fraud experts and representatives of the sector in order to find ways to prevent consumers to be trapped and to help defrauded consumers. |
