Yes I think it is downright dishonest.
The problem of on line selling of goods not in stock is an on going problem that is not going to go away no matter what laws are passed. In fact it will get worse as more and more people find out that you can get away with it.
The problem will only be minimal when purchasing on line from established retail industries that are just adding this facility to a normal trading establishment but other organisations with no capital invested are going to find that there are lots of suckers out there waiting to be fleeced.
Personally on line shopping does not appeal to me because I like to browse and "feel the quality" but there are some items from O/S supplies that can only be bought this way and it finallly comes down to trust.
I find that buying in person from the local resllers is far more satisfying even if the prices are higher and the well established firms are not all that much dearer than O/S sellers when you look at the other advantages.
