IV. Ethical Issues in Implementation
Accurate Value of the itemsIf the seller wants to set an accurate price, they should investigate the
item they’re selling.
Privacy Most sellers knows the identity of the buyer. So it is necessary to
protect the identity of a buyer who purchases online.
Bait and SwitchReleasing misleading ads to get people to go to their website.
Defamatory statement� Statement that is false and injures the reputation of another person or company. It is the responsibility of the seller to check if the item is still in good condition and useable.
IV. Incorporating Ethics Establish Core Values
Values give a company direction while a company code of ethics defines the behavior you expect your business to exemplify.
Gain Consumer Trust Customers are more likely to view the business as legitimate if the
website looks official and it provides excellent customer service.
Secure Customer DataIt is the responsibility of company to protect sensitive consumer data
such as addresses, customer account numbers and bank and credit card information.
Create Ethical Web Content� The company must give special attention to the marketing materials included in the website. Avoid publishing misleading statements that could give consumers the wrong idea about the products offered.
