What is E-commerce?

Definition of e-commerce.

The buying and selling of products and services by businesses and consumers through an electronic medium, without using any paper documents. E-commerce is widely considered the buying and selling of products over the internet, but any transaction that is completed solely through electronic measures can be considered e-commerce. E-commerce is subdivided into three categories: business to business or B2B (Cisco), business to consumer or B2C (Amazon), and consumer to consumer or C2C (eBay), also called electronic commerce.

• As the internet continues to grow, so does e-commerce because more stores offer online shopping to their customers.
