E-commerce

Nowadays, to connect to other people who live in another side of the world has become easier because of internet. We can email, chat and shopping. Shopping is a kind of new thing to do when you are online, thus, I would like to introduce you about it. Shopping online or E-commerce stands for Electronic Commerce. Shopping-online can be divided into two categories. The first category is a website which sells its product, for example, Long Champ and Louis Vuitton. Most brand name has its own website, where customer can order directly. The second category is a website which does not sell its product. It is like a web-board for people to post their products and advertise by themselves. Ebay is in this case. The products are various. You can buy books, clothing, toys, or even real estate. To shop via these website maybe risk sometimes because we do not know whether a quality of its product is as same as the advertisement or not. Even though the purpose of websites is different, the buying process is the same. Once you are interested in buying a product, all you need to do is to click a few times. First, you have to register its website to tell your information, such as, a name, an address and a payment method. Second, you add an item, which you want into a basket icon. Third, after choosing everything you want to buy, you click finish button. Then the website shows you total amount of money, asks you how do you want to pay and you have to click to ensure again that the detail is correct. Within a few days, the products will be arrived at your house. The method of payment could be PayPal, Credit card, or Cash. PayPal is a global online payment system owned by eBay. It is quick and safe to send money. It is as same as when you send an email. You add money to your account and send an email as to transfer the money to a seller’s account.
There are many advantages in E-commerce. It makes your life easier and save your time. For example, if you want to buy a cosmetic from England but you live in Thailand, you need not to go to England to buy it because you can shop via E-commerce. Just sit in front of computer and order it at your house. Besides that E-commerce is twenty-four hour available. You can order products whenever you want. Among many advantages, there are also disadvantages. From the record, many people have been cheated. Not that every seller in website is reliable. Some are good while some are bad. However, there are still some problems. For example, if a product is damaged during transportation or if you are not satisfied in product, you have to send it back to change for a new one. By doing so, your time is more wasted.
In conclusion, to use E-commerce technology is not always a good thing. It has both good and bad side. You should consider before using it.
