[mandy]

The concealing of corporate information of Taiwan's biggest three online shopping Web sites, Yahoo! Taiwan, Taiwan eBay, and PC home Online ranked the first in the top 10 news items concerning local Internet consumers in 2005, the ROC Net Consumers Association said yesterday.

According to a survey conducted by the association on the Web Sites of Yahoo! Taiwan, Taiwan eBay, and the locally-owned PC home Online, Yam Digital Technology, and HiNet Internet Service by Chunghwa Telecom, the first three companies failed to disclose their physical company addresses on their Web sites which could have a severe detrimental effect on Internet shoppers' rights.

The association further pointed out that Yahoo! and eBay's main U.S. Web sites clearly indicated street addresses and that consumers in Taiwan should condemn Yahoo! and eBay's double standards by refusing to shop at their Web sites.
