Correct, this has been a
known law. It's a good law in general,
but can be "wierd" when it comes to border-crossing situations
such as ePay.
I'm not sure the regulations apply to most eBay transactions though.
In the UK, at least, I understand they only apply to *business* to
consumer transactions, not sales by private individuals. And I can't
see how they can be enforced against a seller outside the EU.
I agree, as far as I know the 8 day return policy Fred mentioned is
only applicable to business here in Holland, not to individuals who
sell something. Anyway, when I sell something on ebay, I explicitly
state (for the EU buyers) that it is a private sale.
