  There are few different types of E-commerce: Business to Consumers (B2C) Tesco is a good example of this type of E- commerce.

In 1979 he invented online shopping or precisely saying a teleshopping, which become ecommerce until internet.  It has been said that the idea emerged on the walk with his wife. They were talking about how nice it would be if they didn't have to waste the time doing shopping and instead the shopping could be delivered to them. So he came up with the idea to connect phone and TV and that's how he created a system which he named "teleshopping".
