As talk about the limitations of e-commerce. We can divide its limitations into two main points. They are as following:
Technical limitations of E-commerce (EC).
System security, reliability, standards, and some communication protocols are still evolving.
In many areas, internet bandwidths are insufficient.
Software development tools are still evolving and changing rapidly.
Some EC may not fix or may not be compatible with some hardwares, operating systems or components.
Nontechnical limitations of E-commerce.
The cost for developing a EC program may be very high.
Consumers do not trust the faceless seller, or paperless transactions.
Some consumers like to touch items, such as clothes, physycal things rather than virtual things.
There is not enough regulations for government to deal with EC.
There may be a breakdown in human being relationships because of non face-to-face interactions.
Internet access is still expensive for some parts of population.
