Why buy and sell online?
There is a rapid growth in people buying and selling online. According to the latest figures from the US Census Bureau, total e-commerce sales in the US in the first quarter of 2006 amounted to US$25.2 billion, representing an increase of 25.4% over the same period last year. Of this increase, retail sales accounted for an 8.1% jump during this period.
In Australia, statistics released by the Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts in February 2006 show that between June 2001 and June 2004, the number of businesses accessing the internet increased from 3% to 74%. These statistics also reveal that 37% of adults said that shopping and paying bills online was a main use of the internet.
Of course buying and selling online also opens up your business to a wealth of new markets anywhere in the world - your access to new customers will have no boundaries.
