OLX, Quikr and similar marketplaces

I would like to know what rules of consumer affairs or it ministry govern these marketplaces. If there is a fraud or a crime between the seller and buyer, who is responsible?
If there are direct selling rules in the country, why shouldn't there be market place rules. So many unfair practices take place. Its known globally that half of online classifieds are scams. Some times people sell escort services and other such related things. Where is check and balance. Things that are illegal in the physical market getting sold easily. more

the other question is how is gst levied on this transaction? more  
Has this been taken up by ministry? more  
An important issue raised by Ms Puri. There must be huge transactions taking place at this centres and government taxes are seldom paid. It is surprising as to how an important matter like this could skip the attention of the government and its agencies till now? Hopefully, the government will now wake up and bring in necessary rules & laws to regulate the functioning of these markets/business places. more  
ms radha puri is very much right - online you just cannot judge anyone that is why i insist on real life interaction - quirk frankly only wants to help gen x, gen y, gen z and they do not need help at all it- people like me age 50 plus need help - call is not help / chatting is not help - help is in real world life more  
Radha has raised a very important issue. I think there should be legislation to regulate more
