Advantages & Disadvantages of E-commerce  Overcome Geographical Limitations; If you have a physical store, you are limited by the geographical area that you can service. With an ecommerce website, the whole world is your playground.  Lower Costs; One of the most tangible positives of ecommerce is the lowered cost. A part of these lowered costs could be passed on to customers in the form of discounted prices..
