Development of C2C websites (consumer-to-consumer)

C2C websites are a kind of e-commerce websites that are used for mediation between the vendors and purchasers of different goods. Abbreviation C2C in this case refers to “consumer-to-consumer” or “citizen-to-citizen”. Unlike B2B websites, C2C websites do not offer direct selling of certain products, they just act as a connecting link in purchase and sale. C2C websites usually receive a certain commission fee (a percentage of the amount of transactions) for rendering intermediary services.

One of the brightest examples of the C2C websites family is an American online auction eBay. At ebay.com vendors and purchasers find each other, bargain, close win-win deals. For providing the opportunity to sell goods and services on its “territory” the website charges a small commission from the vendors.

C2C websites allow the consumers (who may act both as purchasers and vendors) to carry out purchase and sale of various goods with the maximum convenience. Practically any Internet user can become a vendor or a purchaser at C2C websites.

Development of C2C websites is a quite complicated process. Besides performing a standard set of functions C2C websites should also ensure the highest possible level of security of deals that are made at the site. In addition to this such sites should provide their visitors with the opportunity to resolve disputes, revoke deals etc.

Along with the purchase and sale of goods C2C websites provide the consumers with a big number of other useful features. For example, using C2C websites Internet users can search for a new job or new employees, buy and lease accommodation or search for vendees and leaseholders of estate property etc.

Development of C2C websites is aimed at creation of projects that meet the following requirements to the fullest extent:

  • guarantee of security and reliability – the risk of non-receipt of goods or non-provision of services as well as the risk of receipt of low-quality goods or improper provision of services should be reduced to minimum;
  • guarantee of efficiency – provision of services or sale and purchase of goods at C2C websites should be carried out without obstacles and delays;
  • guarantee of convenience – provision of services or sale and purchase of goods should be carried out at a convenient time and in a user-friendly way.
