Anyone living in NY now has some added protection for shopping online. NY Governor Eliot Spitzer has signed a bill that basically says online businesses must ship products within 30 days or else provide consumers with an opportunity for a refund.
This bill covers every merchant from large chains like BestBuy.com or Amazon.com to smaller merchants, including individual sellers on eBay. It also requires online merchants to clearly and prominently display detailed information about its company and its refund policies.
Not sure how many other states have similar bills in place, but there's no reason all 50 shouldn't adopt this measure to further increase security for online shoppers.
