What are the disadvantages of ecommerce? - e-Commerce notes

Answer:

The disadvantages of e-commerce are:

· E-Commerce sites, services, and payment accesses face security threats as there are many hackers looking for opportunities to get the access.

· Some people consider shopping as a social experience. For example, some people prefer to go to a shopping mall with family and friends and purchase products rather than online shopping – hence they may not like to buy online.

· The most important disadvantage of e-commerce is shipping, as it takes several days to deliver physical products all over the world.

· Inability to feel the physical: There is no opportunity provided in online shopping to touch or feel the product. 

 

Hence, customers feel that purchasing products like apparels or furniture online can be sometimes risky.
