A legal question about Internet shopping.

Utter nonsense , you clearly know nothing about consumer law!
Seriously, think about what you has just stated! People would be getting scammed left right and center if that was the case. Take money, no legal contract is formed, sweeeeet no problem, seller walks away

A legal binding contract is formed the second they have taken payment, shizzle they put in T&C's mean squat and are superseded by consumer law / soga ...etc
All prices are an offer to treat only, they can cancel or refuse to deal with you at this point, however it becomes a legal binding contract the second they have taken payment from you. This is why Kodak and argos to name a few got stung for serious money in the pass due to UN-obvious miss-prices.
The only time this becomes VOID is when it's blatantly a mistake/mis-price and the retailer can reasonably show that the customer knew this at the point of sale (ie, a £1000 product priced at 10p ...etc) , however most of this has never been tested in court as previous cases have been honored / not taken to court.

You're wrong, but at least you're being emphatically wrong.

There was an instance where a major online shop miss priced some high end motherboards, the missed a digit off and they were going for 50 rather than 250, i think they twigged when people started buying 6 at a time!
It's fair enough.
