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.
B2C (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.

Credit Card Payments: Protects information transmitted among users, merchant sites, and processing banks for example Visa, MasterCard, AMEX and Discover.
Digital Wallet: Software that stores credit card and other information to facilitate form completion and payment for goods on the Web. Digital wallets can be used on Google Checkout.
Digital Checking: Electronic check with a secure digital signature for example e-checks.

The other good thing about Pay Pal is that you can use your regular credit card to make a secure payment as well.
