E-commerce sees signs of recovery, analysts say

One of the sellers, nicknamed "Orange Mama" (橘子媽媽), became a well-known online retailer after claiming that she sold goods worth more than NT$1 million every month through online auctions.

"I think the incident will help enhance consumer awareness about shopping in virtual stores but impede the development of e-commerce in Taiwan," said Pan Jou-juan (潘兆娟), deputy executive director of the Secure Online Shopping Association (SOSA, 消費者電子商務協會).
