The proliferation of cross-border platforms and e-commerce has significantly transformed the global retail landscape. However, it has also introduced a myriad of challenges in enforcing consumer protection laws. Platforms like Daigou, which facilitate international purchasing for consumers and only as middlepersons, and established e-commerce sites like Amazon and JD.com, need to continually adapt their practices to meet legal standards and protect consumer rights.
Major e-commerce platforms have implemented several measures to safeguard consumer interests:

International platforms need a more standardized legal framework that accommodates national variances in consumer protection, ensuring that all consumers, regardless of their location, receive fair and transparent treatment.
