ONLINE ALIŞVERİŞTE ÇIKABİLECEK ANLAŞMAZLIKLARIN ÖNLENMESİ VE ÇÖZÜMÜ

Abstract

Dijital çağda, elektronik ticaretin gelişmesiyle birlikte, tüketici harcamaları Gayri Safi Yurtiçi Hasıla (GSYH) içindeki en yüksek paya sahip olmaya başladı. Sürekli artan tüketici harcamaları, tüketici anlaşmazlıklarının ortaya çıkma olasılığını da artırmıştır. Tüketici uyuşmazlıklarını çözmek için kullanılan geleneksel yollar genellikle etkisiz, zaman alıcı ve karmaşıktır. Bu makale, çevrimiçi alışverişteki uyuşmazlıkların çözümü yanı sıra çevrimiçi tüketici işlemlerinin genel başarısını sağlamayı amaçlayan anlaşmazlık önleme seçeneklerini tartışmaktadır.

DISPUTE PREVENTION AND RESOLUTION IN ONLINE SHOPPING

Abstract

In the digital age, with development of e-commerce, consumer spending has dominated the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The continuously increasing consumer spending has raised the probability of consumer disputes. The traditional litigation used for resolving consumer disputes is often inconvenient, impractical, time- consuming and complex. This paper aims at examining dispute prevention alongside resolutions in online shopping. The article also discusses dispute prevention options that aim at ensuring the overall success of online Business to Consumer (B2C) transactions.
