The alternative is dealing with people who have simply requested a few megabytes on Hinet or Seednet, set up a personal webpage and begun selling things. Consumers should bear in mind that there are no guarantees when dealing with such individuals, and if a problem occurs, consumer protection laws do not apply.
有些人會去 Hinet、Seednet 上申請幾 mega 的空間，開立個人網頁賣東西，和這類「個體戶」進行交易全無保障，萬一出了問題，連「消費者保護法」都不能適用。
