Transactional E-commerce Site

The transactional site is a website that is popular for those who like to shop online. It is a website with an electronic storefront for a brick-and-mortar retailer or a catalog business. Besides that, it is also a manufacturer showroom for those who wish to sell their products to the public directly. This type of website has provided various types of services for them to compete in the markets such as allow the customers to search for, order, and pay for the products online. Some of these websites even offer the after-sales service to the customers. Among these sites, Amazon.com is the most famous and successful transactional site in the world.


In Malaysia, there are various types of local transactional e-commerce sites that are available to the public. The lelong.com.my is a local transactional e-commerce site that we would like to introduce this week. The lelong.com.my is a website that starts to operate at the end of 1998 and it is a website that provides online shopping and online auction services to all Malaysians. The mission of this website is “Serving the community and bringing a high standard of quality into homes and businesses by providing an avenue for on-line trading at a low cost”. The reasons for the success of lelong.com.my is the website will accept any types of products to sell or bid online whether there are used or new items. Moreover, their track record for selling items is extremely good with approximately 70% of all items posted for auction on the site are sold.



There are more and more local e-commerce transactional sites that can be found in the Internet. This is due to the increasing number of computer users, as well as wider coverage of broadband access and people are more willing to stay at home instead of going out shopping. This type of website is convenient and easy to use for the public. So, there will be increasing profitability and opportunities for these online transactional websites in future.

  1. Transactional websites are cool. I am a user of e-bay and lelong. As well as forums like cari.com.my or lowyat.net. As an IT student i always browse through for gadgets to upgrade or to learn my hardwares as well as accessories. and the quickest and without the needs of money conversion, these websites are really helpful. They sell first hands as well as second hands. Now, i am not worried if i cannot find any IT gadget i want. All i need is just get in front of my computer and double click the browser, I will find what i want in less that a minute.
