* The SEPA Direct Debit provides for complete protection of customers due to a "no-questions-asked" refund right during eight weeks after a customer`s account was debited. In the event of unauthorised direct debit collections, the customer`s right to claim a refund extends to thirteen months. These provisions are stipulated by the EU Payment Services Directive (PSD). The PSD and the SEPA Direct Debit Schemes give the customer full control over the payment.
Reuters press release. "Bit of a non-starter" indeed.

I meant 'bought' not 'brought' (I'm always doing that).

Apologies for my shoddy post .

Those rules are for direct debits, not consumer sales.

I think you are right. Sometimes journalists just want to sell newspapers. I don't see anything this drastic pushing through, consumers/voters have more clout with politicians than lobbyists in this kind of issue.

Hm, I suppose the next step would be to set up a new government body, which would study the issue by tracking everyone's purchases, then identify the individuals who return goods, and eventually ban them from purchasing anything in the future, and from possessing credit cards....

If I'd bought the Daily Express and believed a word of what I read in it, I'd be turning myself into the police as a lunatic who needs to be locked up for my own good.
