ADVANTAGES OF E-COMMERCE:
1. Availability for 24 hours of 24 and 7 days of 7:
This availability independent on a certain program represents a major
advantage for the clients who can purchase during night too when they are
not busy with other urgent problems (job, household).
2. Facilities:
Due to the electronic commerce there is no need to go to the commercial
places or to the shop next to corner .Everybody may place orders from
home sitting in front of the PC and thoroughly analyzing and comparing
different products.
3. Access to information:
The apparition of the electronic commerce gave a new meaning
of the term ‘globalization’. For example in order to buy
handcrafted items from Madagascar it is not necessary to travel to
that destination but only to open the browser at the address of a
shop that is trading such items (address that can be found using
the searching motors).
4. Permanent contact with customers:
Comparing with the common employees who need salaries, a working
time table, vacation, with a varying productivity and being subjective a
web site is offering information about the company and her products or
she is taking and processing orders for 24 hours of 24 and 7 days of 7
continuously with minim costs.
5. The decrease of the functioning costs:
These costs may be drastically diminished by the automatics of
the orders process.
DISADVANTAGES:
1. The Fraud:
As in any other activity field, the technology of internet
created new fraudulent possibilities. In the lack of a direct
contact a client may cheat the trader regarding his identity or
his real payment possibilities.
2. Security:
The most important reason for which some persons hesitate to
use internet for purchases-as resulted from most of the opinion
polls – is that of being afraid to supply on line information
regarding the credit card.
3. Absence of human contact:
The human presence to which the buyer may appeal to in case
he has doubts, represents an obstacle in spreading this form of
commerce.
4. Intimacy
Another important problem is the attempt to the personal
intimacy. The potential buyers are afraid that by internet the
traders or a bad will person can collect thorough information and
they will not realize this at all. Unfortunately these worries are the
result of some exaggerations.
5. Launch and integration costs:
Although the launch costs of a virtual shop are much lower in
comparison with those of a real one they may be incorrectly
estimated
