 INTRODUCTION

What is E-commerce?
Its full form is Electronic commerce. It is a business model which offers firms and
individuals to buy and sell goods and services through internet. The history of
ecommerce begins with the first ever online sale: on the August 11, 1994 a man sold a CD by
the band Sting to his friend through his website NetMarket, an American retail platform. 1
