规制电商平台限定交易协议的合理边界

Regulating the Reasonable Boundary of Limited Trading Agreement of E-commerce Platform

电商平台限定交易协议应当属于正当的市场安排,国内部分电商平台在临近购物节之前要求商家签署限定交易协议的做法并不妥当,该种做法可能构成违约、滥用市场相对优势地位、滥用市场支配地位。因此,有必要在理论上探究电商平台限定交易协议的合理边界,以较为宏观的视角分辨个案中的限定交易协议是否具有法律意义上的规制必要性。

E-commerce platform limited trading agreement should be a legitimate market arrangement. It is not appropriate for some domestic e-commerce platforms to require merchants to sign restricted trading agreements before the shopping festival, which may constitute default,abuse of market comparative advantage and abuse of market dominance. Therefore, it is necessary to explore the reasonable boundary of the limited transaction agreement in the E-commerce platform in theory, and to distinguish whether the limited transaction agreement in the case has the legal significance of regulation necessity from a relatively macro perspective.
