This research paper based on the systematic literature review aims to summarize the legal framework and evolving jurisprudence relating to e-commerce platforms' liability for data breaches and unfair trade practices initiating from third-party sellers while studying legal frameworks in key regions, such as the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA), India's Consumer Protection (E-commerce) Rules, and the US's INFORM Consumers Act, emphasising a trend towards greater platform accountability.
