Much needed. About time there's some regulation & transparency on pricing & discounts. E-commerce companies need to respect the meaning of MRP (Maximum Retail Price). The #BigFoolingSales need to have the fine print spelled out properly. Ebay India pulls the same crap multiple times a year. There are 3rd party sellers like cart2india that list stuff at waay more than the printed price and then offer huge discounts, still charging you more than what you'd pay at a brick & mortar store.
