Corresponding author: Cajoudan, economic management, technology university, Beijing, China's Peking University

Consumer vs. consumer, the oldest form of electronic commerce, greatly facilitated the creation of free job advertisements, auctions, forums and personal pages for emerging entrepreneurs. C2C is a kind of e-commerce that we know that it was very useful before the advent of the Internet. C2C has recently been supported on a large web site. C2C has made tremendous technical changes since its foundation and has been increasing market size and profit year by year. Due to rapid growth and market size and revenue growth, we need to investigate the recent situation of C2C and determine how much growth is beneficial for customers. In this article I will explain the recent statistics on C2C market size and revenue. This article also explains the origins, definitions, business models, pros and cons of C2C e-commerce. In this article I will describe the function of the C2C E-commerce website in more detail.

Types of e-commerce In the last 20 years, there were three types of e-commerce.  C2C (between consumers) B2B (between businesses) B2C (between businesses) C2C e-commerce is an inter-individual transaction that takes place via an electronic platform. For example, purchasing on eBay is inter-consumer (C2C) e-commerce. There are two types of e-commerce transactions: intercompany transaction (B2B) and intercompany transaction (B2C). An example of B2B e-commerce involves transactions between two companies to provide services to consumers. For example, one educational institution purchases broadband from Virgin Media and provides wireless Internet service to students. B2C e-commerce means purchasing goods and services from online commercial websites such as Amazon and LOVEFiLM.

Inter-consumer (C2C) or inter-civil e-commerce involves electronic promotion of inter-consumer transactions through specific third parties. A common example is an online auction where consumers sell goods or bid other consumers and third parties usually charge a flat fee or commission. In modern use, peer-to-peer describes an application that allows users to exchange files with each other directly or via the intermediary server using the Internet. In some cases, peer-to-peer communication is accomplished by providing server functions and client functions for each communication node.
