Conclusions

The development of cross-border e-commerce has brought more goods to consumers and promoted their consumption, but at the same time, there are also some drawbacks, such as exaggerated publicity, false publicity, etc., which has led to consumers’ excessive consumption, led to the emergence of college students’ “borrowing and lending” behavior, and increased their anxiety. While consumers need rational consumption and financial management, cross-border e-commerce should guarantee after-sales service and establish a good reputation.
