E-Business disadvantages
Less security
The biggest obstacle in the growth of e-commerce is
the issue of security. Internet is not a secured medium
of communication.There are tools or options available to
hackers whereby they can not only monitor but also control
any data communicated over the internet. Particularly,
people are not comfortable while providing their financial
information (credit card no. etc.) online due to the fact
that this information can be hacked and misused
Less privacy
The nature of internet technology is such that private
information of the online customers can be easily
collected and recorded on the server side.The buying pattern
of a customer can be known to an e-shop
with the help of certain sophisticated tools.You know that
cookies can be used to track customers online. On one hand
these technologies are useful for doing customization but on
the other, they can be said to have caused the breach
of informational privacy rights of a person
Purchase to DeliveryTime
As much as the Internet has the advantage of processing
orders and payments in real time, this has little benefit to the
customer who requires the purchased item equally fast.
Unlike brick-and-mortar businesses, purchases from your e-
business typically have a time lag from purchase to delivery of
the physical goods. Some customers would rather go to the
physical store and pick up the item unless it's of a digital kind,
such as an e-book or music file.
