Electronic Commerce is the buying and selling of goods and
services across the Internet. An e-commerce site can
be as simple as a catalog page with a phone number, or it
can range all the way to a real-time credit card processing
site where customers can purchase downloadable goods and
receive them on the spot. Electronic commerce merchants
can range from the small business with a few items for sale
all the way to a large on-line retailer such as Amazon.com.
