Abstract

A recent development in an era where it is simple to access internet buying and selling operations. Buying and selling online, one of which can be accessed in applications such as shopee, tokopedia, gofood, and others. Various age groups are free to conduct online transactions, ranging from children to the elderly. When there are four legal conditions in an agreement, namely the agreement of the parties, competence, a particular issue, and a lawful cause, buying and selling agreements in online transactions are not exempt from the rules of Article 1320 of the Civil Code. What is interesting is the skill of the parties as one of the legal elements. In online transactions, this element of fatigue needs to be questioned because there are many cases of minors making purchases through online transactions. Even the online transactions of buying and selling alcohol and sharp weapons are carried out by children who are not yet adults. The problem in this research is how to introduce online buying and selling in Indonesia? What legal repercussions should minors expect from purchasing booze and sharp objects online?. The purpose of this study is to analyze the implementation of online buying and selling in Indonesia and the juridical implications of online purchases of alcohol and sharp weapons by minors. The results of the study revealed that minors can purchase any type of goods in the online shop. For example, there are several online shops selling alcohol and sharp weapons, so if there is no strict monitoring of a person’s skills in online transactions, it will lead to legal problems where minors can buy alcohol and sharp weapons freely. The juridical implication requires changes to related laws regarding the age limit for making purchases online and the rules regarding being required to include an ID card in all online purchases.
