Ten years ago, my ex-manager in Australia went on about how we should move into e-commerce (hardware, software, and related services) and all that and I argued against it because I felt consumers needed to TOUCH and FEEL a product before departing with their money.

It turns out we were both right because some products sell well online such as books, CDs, etc, whereas others do not… such as clothing, shoes, and many others.

Anyway, at the end of the day e-commerce didn’t really take off like it was being touted by some but there are some products and services that are suitable for it.

It turns out that your ex-manager was right and you were wrong You don't need to touch and feel hardware and ... software! And e-commerce is big in the technologically advanced countries. Cyprus is not one of them but even in Cyprus the number of people that buy online increases.

But what percentage of computer hardware being sold by the average computer store, is made online to justify the credit card, PayPal, website, etc, costs?

Cyprus is small. To fully take advantage of e-commerce you should buy in large quantities and sell at lower prices and you can't do that very good if your market is just Cyprus. But if you have a big shop and you can get good prices then why not to have an e-commerce site to sell your products in all Cyprus instead of just your city? IT might have some costs but it is way cheaper than opening a store in every city! But of course if your prices are not any better than most stores then you shouldn't bother. I see some Cyprus e-commerce stores that don't have better prices and not even more variety than regular shops. Why bother ordering from them if I can get the same thing at the same price from a local shop?

It seems that it’s mostly the non-tangible items like airline tickets, gambling, hotel reservations, etc, that have really taken off in e-commerce.

Maybe, although e-Bay has done very well with all manner of second-hand tangible items.

I just had a look at your html Tim… short, sweet, and to the point! The font size of the text of the purple box at the bottom is a bit too small to read though.
