ANALYSIS OF ELECTRONIC PAYMENT SYSTEM
The three major types of electronic commerce are business-to-consumer (B2C), business-to-business (B2B), and consumer-to-consumer (C2C). Mobile commerce, or m-commerce, is the purchase of goods and services using handheld wireless devices. B2C or Business to Consumer, involves retailing products and services to individual shoppers. Barnesandnoble.com, which sells books, software, and music to individual consumers, is an example of B2C e-commerce. B2B, Business to Business, involves sales of goods and services among businesses. ChemConnect’s Web site for buying and selling natural gas liquids, refined and intermediate fuels, chemicals, and plastics is an example of B2B e-commerce. C2C, or Consumer to Consumer, involves consumers selling directly to consumers. For example, eBay, the giant Web auction site, enables people to sell their goods to other consumers by auctioning the merchandise off to the highest bidder.
The principal e-commerce payment systems are digital credit card payment systems, digital wallets, accumulated balance digital payment systems, stored value payment systems, digital checking, and electronic billing presentment and payment systems.

One you can pay directly to the seller or you can use PayPal, a payment system that you join and it uses your bank account to process your payment. Some sellers prefer to use PayPal than direct buy from customers.

Until recently, however, most companies have used the computer primarily as a tool for storing and analyzing Simple Example of the proprietary data related to internal operations or to customers.
