    • Business-to-Business (B2B): A business sells its products to an intermediate buyer who then sells to the final customer. For example, a wholesaler places an order from a company's website and then sells the product to end consumers at retail outlets.
    • Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C): Consumers use the website to sell their assets such as property, cars, or motorcycles. They can also rent out rooms by publishing information on the website.

    E-Commerce Trade Cycle

    • A trade cycle is a series of exchanges between the customer and supplier.
