...< B2C >= business to consumer~~ describes activities of commercial organizations serving the end consumer with products and/or services. It is also a form of electronic commerce in which products or services are sold from a firm to a consumer. An example of a B2C transaction would be a consumer buying grain-fed chickens at a grocery store.

...< B2B >= business ti business~~ typically takes the form of automated processes between trading partners and is performed in much higher volumes than business-to-consumer (B2C) applications. For example, a company that makes chicken feed would sell it to a chicken farm, another company, rather than directly to consumers. B2B can also encompass marketing activities between businesses, and not just the final transactions that result from marketing.

...< C2C >= consumer to consumer(or citizen-to-citizen)~~ involves the electronically-facilitated transactions between consumers through some third party. A common example is the online auction, in which a consumer posts an item for sale and other consumers bid to purchase it; the third party generally charges a flat fee or commission. The sites are only intermediaries, just there to match consumers. They do not have to check quality of the products being offered.
