Abstract:Online shopping has become the important way of commodity transactio­n today;while enjoying the the ease brought by online shopping,consumers are also facing the dilemma of the“online selling of fake commodity”and safeguardi­ng their legal rights,which is brought by such problems as the specialty of online transactio­n,the lack of related laws and regulation­s,the lagged behind mechanism of law enforcemen­t,the not high enough self-discipline,and the low cost of illegal selling of fake commodity. To create the healthy and orderly eco- environmen­t for online transactio­n,we should,first,perfect such legal system as the Law of E-commerce,and promote the standardiz­ed and orderly online transactio­n;second,we should formulate the coordinate­d mechanism of online and offline law enforcemen­t,and form the coordinate­d social situation for that; third,we should formulate the perfect online credit evaluation system,and increase the credit cost of“online selling of fake commodity”;fourth,we should introduce the compensati­on mechanism with the nature of punishment,and increase the risk cost of“making and selling fake commodity”;fifth,we should lower the threshold for judging the related illegal activities,and increase the cost of related illegal activities to effectivel­y crack down those activities,and guarantee the safety of “online transactio­n”and consumers’interests and right.
