Australian regulator report pulls up online marketplaces on consumer, seller protection
April 28 (Reuters) - The Australian Competition and Consumer
Commission (ACCC) in a report on Thursday flagged a slew of
concerns over operations of online retail marketplaces such as
Amazon Australia, Kogan, eBay Australia and others.
The consumer watchdog highlighted concerns over usage of
algorithms that decided how products are ranked and displayed,
collection and use of consumer data, and inadequate dispute
resolution mechanisms.
