What is an example of business-to-consumer electronic commerce?

Brenda files her income tax online.
A manufacturer conducts business over the Web with its retailers.
Juan buys Kevin's guitar on eBay.com.
Reuben buys a shoe on Yebhi.com.

The correct answer is: Reuben buys a shoe on Yebhi.com.

The correct answer illustrates a direct transaction between a business and an individual consumer, which is the essence of business-to-consumer (B2C) electronic commerce. In this scenario, Reuben is purchasing a shoe from Yebhi.com, a retailer operating online that sells goods directly to consumers. This relationship exemplifies B2C commerce because it involves a business providing products or services directly to the end user—Reuben—in a digital context. In contrast, the other options either depict interactions where the transaction does not involve a direct sale from a business to a consumer or are classified differently. For example, Brenda filing her income tax online may involve a service provided by the government but does not represent a traditional retail transaction. A manufacturer conducting business over the Web with its retailers indicates a business-to-business (B2B) exchange. Lastly, Juan buying Kevin's guitar on eBay.com illustrates a consumer-to-consumer (C2C) transaction rather than a B2C scenario, as the sale occurs between two individuals rather than between a business and a consumer.
