Is it illegal for a competitor to place fraudulent orders on an e-commerce site?
<p>Can a competitor place fraudulent orders on an e-commerce site in attempt to cause damages to the business?</p>

<p>Of course they can place fraudulent orders, it's just a very bad idea. </p>

<p>They are a business, not a consumer. Any order would be legally binding. In other words, they can place as many orders as they like, but they have to pay on delivery. If they refuse to accept the ordered goods, they will be liable for damages. </p>
