<28> The electronic commerce server reports to the seller that there is a purchase request from the purchaser and asks the seller to print out shipping and returning invoices for the goods and ship the goods package to the purchaser by transmitting the shipping information inputted and goods information selected by the purchaser at step S6, and thereafter the seller ship the goods package to the purchaser at step S7.
<29> The purchaser selects further desirable goods among the goods package that the purchaser configured at step S8 and returns the unselected goods using the returning invoice, which is delivered from the seller with the goods package, at step Dl. The purchaser can return the unselected goods through a deliverer while the deliverer is visiting the purchaser to deliver the goods package or request the deliverer to visit the purchaser again for returning the unselected goods. The purchaser connects to the electronic commerce server and inputs goods determined to be purchased among the goods package delivered from the seller at step S9. Meanwhile, if the purchaser does not execute a confirmation procedure, the seller can check the goods unselected and returned by the purchaser at step D2 and connect to the electronic commerce server to input the goods determined to be purchased by the purchaser at step D3.
<30> The electronic commerce server compares the price of the goods determined to be purchased by the purchaser with the amount paid for the goods package by the purchaser at step SlO-I and S10-2. The electronic commerce server terminates the electronic commerce if the price of the goods determined to be purchased by the purchaser is the same as the amount paid for the goods package by the purchaser. If the price of the goods determined to be purchased by the purchaser is higher than the amount paid by the purchaser, the electronic commerce server requests an additional payment from the purchaser, and thereafter the purchaser makes a additional payment for the difference and the electronic commerce terminated at step SlO-1-1.
