Unit 12Task P6
In this task I will be explaining the challenges of globalisaton facing a selected business
when using the internet as a marketng tool. For this assignment I have chosen to use eBay
as my selected business.
Security and payment The way eBay uses payment security is done by making customers
system create accounts with the site which allows them to purchase items. In
addition eBay partners with PayPal which is also a safe and secure
way to pay for products from eBay. Since the account is created by
the customer only they will have access to login in and purchase
their items using their credit card.
Payment security When a customer creates an account with eBay their contact
information is automatically saved onto the system. Only people
who have access to the account which would be by knowing the
username and password can access this information. Therefore

back to purchase with eBay as they have available stocks.
Disintermediaton If eBay was to have a store of its own, it would be easier for
and channel confict. customers to look at the item in first hand before buying it. Also they
will be able to purchase the item on the day rather than waiting for it
to get shipped to their house.
Keeping pace with The way eBay keeps up with technological change is done by
technological change creating an app for ebay that can be downloaded on any play stores/
app stores. As more people are using their smartphones rather than
laptops and computers eBay has successfully created an app for
smartphone users.
