E-commerce Business Models

  • B2B (business to business) – This involves companies doing business with each other. One example is manufacturers selling to distributors and wholesalers selling to retailers.

  • B2C (business to consumer) – B2C consists of businesses selling to the public through shopping cart software, without needing any human interaction. This is what most people think of when they hear “e-commerce.” An example of this is Amazon. 

  • C2B (consumer to business) – In C2B e-commerce, consumers post a project with a set budget online, and companies bid on the project. The consumer reviews the bids and selects the company. Elance is an example of this.

  • C2C (consumer to consumer) – This takes place within online classified ads, forums or marketplaces where individuals can buy and sell their goods. Examples of this are Craigslist, eBay and Etsy.
