> I think this has more to do with a lack of meaningful competition than anything else. A good way to introduce meaningful competition is leveling the playing field when it comes to return policies. The ease of returns at Amazon is often brought up by US users in these discussions. And it's indeed great. However in europe it's a non-issue since all shops have to offer a 14-day no questions asked return option. Wondering whether I'll be able to return an item isn't part of my purchasing considerations at all - regardless of where I shop. In my opinion good legislation and reasonable minimum standards for all sellers enable competition.
