Chapter 9 summary
In Module 9, “Electronic Commerce”, I learned about online shopping. I am pretty much a newcomer when it comes to making purchases over the internet since I have a credit card now. You can get just about anything you want to on the internet. I first started making purchases on Amason until I discovered better deals on eBay. I mostly like to purchase retro video games.
Business to Business (B2B) is when businesses sell goods or services to other businesses. Since I am not a business, I don’t have any experience with this. Business to Consumer (B2C) occurs when a business sells goods or services to a consumer. Since I can be a customer, I sometimes buy thing from Amazon. Consumer to Consumer (C2C) occurs when one consumer sells goods or services to another consumer. I make purchases from eBay the most. Consumer to Business (C2B) occurs when consumers offer goods or services to businesses. This one I don’t think I heard of and is the most interesting of the different types of e-commerce so far.
Buying and selling goods talks about the sears catalogue these were cool thick magazines that some people even collect. Amazon offers outside venders a way to sell their products through the site, though I prefer to buy stuff on eBay since it seems their prices are a lot cheaper. A website that easily facilitates ecommerce is Etsy.com; my girlfriend uses this website a lot. I have never used Craigslist. Netflix is a subscription-based site where you can watch movies and TV episodes. My presentation is on Netflix.
The most interesting website which you can offer services is upwork.com were freelancers can offer their expertise as writers, designers, coders, graphic artists, and a number of other professions in various fields. A digital wallet is an electronic device with software that enables the user to make a purchase online. Different kinds of digital wallets are apple pay, Google Pay, and PayPal. I would never use PayPal because of their recent policy changes.
From reading this module I learned about all the different types of e commerce and went into detail on some specific ecommerce websites.
