Online shopping is the process consumers go through to purchase products or services over the internet. It is the perfect meeting point through Internet between buyers and sellers and an electronic application used for B2B (Business to business) and B2C (Business to consumers).

Just as renting shops in the street, it is another form of buying and selling through internet in a simplest way: the sellers without facing any trouble of having any shops can sell their items and the buyers with no hassle of going to the shops in person can buy the products.

The sellers have to select the size of the shop. The items appear on the main site listing as well as in the shop. Customers longing to buy the goods contact the sellers, by email, and the sellers arrange for payment and delivery of the products.

Nearly every item can be bought and sold in this way: baby accessories, cars, boys clothing, mobility scooter, sound systems, motor spare parts, boating accessories, books, jewelleries, toys and games, etc.

Here the shop owner will have a chance to possess separate shop name, logo, short description, unique web address and can do advertisements regarding the products in the main listing as well as in that specific product category. This advertising system works more than a window display does. Here the buyers can get a synopsis of the product itself.

The buyers also can enjoy several advantages.

They can save their time: they barely have to invest time to find their desired stuffs. They only need to browse in the search option or else they can find their ultimate products in the respective product category option.

Even when they do not possess money, they can easily do the shopping by simply filling in the credit card number. Thus it is very much convenient for the buyers to purchase any product, online.

Buyers are just one click away to another seller. Like the non-electronic shopping, here too lies a stiff competition. So there is the least possibility, that the buyers can be deceived. Once they feel swindled, they just click on to another seller.

The sellers too can reap the advantages by not holding a shop to keep their stock.

There are some disadvantages too: the security of the saleable product and personal buyer-to-seller interaction which so many marketing pundits still today term the best criteria without which shopping can not stand. Steps are taken to erase these problems, also.

The advantages really do outweigh the disadvantages in many respects and in today’s busy world, it is very much required to have online shopping for its feasibility on the sellers’ parts to sell stuffs and on the buyers viewpoint to purchase them, in a simplest way.
