Web Retailers Pressured on Profits
Wall Street is sounding a loud cry to e-retailers: Show us the money! Internet retailing stocks have been on a freefall recently, and analysts are steering clients away from the sector until there are signs that these companies are starting to reduce their losses.

Security Concerns Keep Women from Shopping Online
Concern about the safety of ordering online is the biggest stumbling block to more women shopping on the Net, according to a recent study from researcher Cyber Dialogue.

Retailers May Miss Out On New Net Customers
Bricks-and-mortar retailers slowly moving to the Internet need to hurry up, said a keynote speaker at the National Retail Federation 2000 conference on Monday.

Are Beyond.com's woes a sign of things to come?
Welcome to what may well be the "year of the shakeout" for online retailers.

Trouble Indemnity for Web Sites
It was inevitable: Insurance for e-commerce Web sites -- protection against loss from malicious crackers and unstable equipment -- is an acknowledgement that digital disasters can cause as much damage as any physical calamity.

Food: The Final E-Frontier
Messy, bulky and perishable, groceries aren't easy products to sell online. So it's no wonder the food business has lagged behind other industries in Internet sales. Industry types are looking to speed things up.

Couch Peddlers Love B-to-B, Too
For a while now, stores have been selling furniture online, even as the media scoffs at the very idea.

E-tailers look for profits with Net-only products
Taking a page from direct sales companies such as L.L. Bean and Dell Computer, a growing number of e-commerce firms are introducing products that consumers can only buy online.

Boo.com Trims its Bottom Line
Seventy editorial staff members fall victim to fashion site's post-Christmas "headcount reduction."

Shoot First, Ask Questions Later
The mad dash to create e-commerce sites is forcing prudent business practices out the window. Instead of testing first and then deploying, e-tailers are deploying first, then testing.

The Customer Information Backlash
Customers are tired of giving up their personal information only to have it used without their knowledge in ways that don't offer them any benefit. Smart companies are going to start giving customers their information back. All of it. In a format that lets customers share their information not only with you, but with your divisions -- even your competitors.

Business-To-Business E-commerce To Soar
Business-to-business e-commerce will show blistering growth in the coming years, with the worldwide market expected to expand to $7.29 trillion by 2004, more than 50 times larger than in 1999, a market research company said on Wednesday.

The Future of Retailing
The future of retailing will be in advanced showrooms without cash registers, without any turnover and without price tags. Retailers will become big entertainment centers - the "Disney Worlds" of shoes, cars, and so on.

Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wal-Mart?
On January 1 Wal-Mart opened the latest version of its online store, and the consensus among the press and analysts was much the same: Be afraid, they wrote, be very afraid.

New year spells tough times for e-tailers
Despite booming holiday sales, Web retailers can't seem to get a break from Wall Street.

Failed Blackmail Attempt Leads to Credit Card Theft
In what may be the largest credit card heist on the Internet, an 18-year-old Russian cracker claims to have stolen thousands of credit card numbers from an online store and dispensed them to visitors of his Web site.

E-Tailers Dodge Christmas Bullet
The Toysrus.com almost-disaster at Christmas was important from a number of perspectives. It not only demonstrated that we are past the novelty phase of e-commerce, but also showed that how well an e-business is run can determine its success and failure.

Report: Women Enjoy E-Shopping Less Than Men
While women now comprise 49 percent of online users, they still lag behind men in online shopping, according to the latest American Internet User Survey published by customer relationship management firm Cyber Dialogue.

DoubleClick sued over privacy
The Web advertising company is accused of unlawfully obtaining and selling consumers' private personal information without their consent.

Report: Healthcare E-Commerce to Hit $370 Billion by 2004
A new research report estimates that the healthcare industry will reach $370 billion in online transactions by 2004.

Study: Online Consumers Willing to Pay More for Food
Convenience and quality, not price, are the major motivators for online grocery buyers, says a new study.
