commerce

The commerce market has only just been released to people which has meant that people can now do things like buy items from their own home, the company that has eploited this more than any other company would have to be Ebay, they have sold over 1 billion items since their opening which has made the one of the biggest online actionneirs ever. The customer that uses their company can easily just place a bid on any item they want, eg a football, and then wait to see if they win it or not, then the customer gets to negociate with the seller a sutiable time to deliver the thing that they have bought .



The invention of the IT world has also meant that people can sort out their online banking in their own time, this has meant more business for the banks and more control and less space taken up by documents with this new service.
