I'm just wondering, does this same 7-day refund requirement in Taiwan apply to computer software? What is to prevent a person from buying computer software, installing it on their computer, then refunding it?
I asked this question earlier in the thread and I think the answer is no, you can't refund computer software. So it's a hypocritical law to begin with. I bought a router the other day and tried to return it later in the day UNOPENED and they would only let me exchange it for equal or greater value. I suppose if I had made enough of a fuss they might have let me return it, but the point is that refunds out here are generally harder to come by than they are out West, which makes this kind of law even stranger.
Not sure what you mean here. Almost every Taiwanese person I know has a wallet full of credit cards - certainly a lot more cards than they conceivably need.
Many bank / debit cards here have VISA symbols attached to them. I don't believe such cards work for online purchases though.
