Identify and explain the type of e-commerce referred to in the above case.

Answer 1

Explanation:

C2C Commerce

Here, the business originates from the consumer and the utimate destination is also consumer.

This type of commerce is best suited for dealing in goods for which there is no established market, e.g, selling used books over the internet.

Another important C2C area of application is the formation of consumer's forum and pressure groups (e.g., Yahoo groups). An aggrieved customer can share his experience with a product/service/vendor and warn others by just writing a message.
