E-commerce
E-commerce (electronic commerce) refers to the measures and means used to conduct online trade. This includes buying and selling transactions that take place via the internet.
The advantages over traditional stationary trade include the fact that the buyer can shop and obtain information online 24 hours a day. Shopping is also possible from anywhere - whether on a PC, smartphone or tablet.
Online trade has become increasingly important over the years and platforms such as eBay or the market leader Amazon have become indispensable.
