온라인 플랫폼을 통한 개인간 거래와 소비자보호 - 당근마켓과 연관된 전자상거래법 전부개정안 제29조를 중심으로 -

The Fair Trade Commission(FTC) recently drafted a whole amendment for the E-Commerce Consumer Protection Act and made a legislative notice from March 5 to April 14, 2021(for 40 days). In relation to the current whole amendment, the article that is most problematic on the newspapers is Article 29 of the amendment, which is a regulation on consumer protection in e-commerce between Peers. As the provision, which were expressed unclearly in the existing E-Commerce Act, is separately expressed as e-commerce between Peers in the amendment, the carrot market is also subject to controversy. In particular, requiring excessive collection of identity information in the clause is a problem because it can violate individuals personal information. This regulation already existed in the E-Commerce Consumer Protection Act, as discussed above, but it is necessary to reexamine the problems of this regulation in revising the E-Commerce Consumer Protection Act. Therefore, in this paper, first (I), the contents of the current E-Commerce Consumer Protection Act between individuals and the whole amendment were examined (II), and then the applicability of the current E-Commerce Consumer Protection Act and Article 29 of the whole amendment to the carrot market – a representative online trading marketplace between individuals, were examined (III). Next, after critically examining the provisions of the current E-Commerce Consumer Protection Act and the contents of Article 29 of the total amendment (IV), a proposal for new amendment to the provisions of Article 29 was made (Ⅴ).
