Trading activities in the community have developed very rapidly. This is influenced by one of them by the development of internet-based technology known as e- commerce. E-commerce is a form of trade that has its own characteristics, namely trade that crosses national borders. Through e-commerce a seller (seller) does not have to meet face to face with buyers (buyers, consumers) in a business transaction. At present, trading transactions such as these are known as electronic commerce, which are generally abbreviated as e-commerce acronyms, a form of trade which according to many business actors offers benefits. Apart from the benefits offered by e-commerce mentioned above, actually in the e-commerce transaction there are crucial legal issues. For example, the legal problem is the validity of electronic business transactions from the perspective of civil law, because business people in e-commerce may also be carried out by minors, or because there are some requirements that are still considered to be inadequate to the requirements of conventional civil law such as sign issues digital hand and data massage. Other legal issues include guaranteeing the authenticity of data and confidentiality of documents, protection of consumers, when breach of contract tort occurs, jurisdiction, implementation of law, and so on. The problem above shows that in some aspects, transactions in e-commerce are very risky, full of risks, especially because the consumer has an obligation to make advance payments (advance payment) while he cannot see the truth of the goods ordered or the quality. What is the evidence when there is a lawsuit later, what basis is used to judge the authenticity of an electronic document in e-commerce that on average has no signature, which law is enforced and what legal protection is actually needed in an effort to provide legal certainty (legal certification) to the parties conducting transactions through e-commerce. This paper is to study e-commerce in Indonesia with e-commerce in several countries so that e-commerce transactions can be compared to provide more legal protection especially for buyers or consumers.
