E-Commerce

The e-commerce sector, which is simply defined as the purchase and sale of goods or services over the Internet, has developed quite rapidly in recent years, especially after Covid-19.
This extraordinary and rapid development in the field of e-commerce pushes the legislators to make more detailed regulations on this issue as soon as possible. Therefore, every business selling a product or providing a service on the internet should take a proactive approach to follow the legislation regarding the e-commerce.
