===Direct Sellers===
Companies that provide products or services directly to customers are called direct sellers.  These types of B2C companies are the most well-known.  There are two types of direct sellers: e-tailers and manufacturers.

Upon receiving an order, the e-tailer ships products directly to the consumer or to a wholesaler or manufacturer for delivery.
*Example: Amazon.com

The manufacturer sells directly to consumers via the internet.  The goal is to remove intermediaries, through a process called disintermediation, and to establish direct customer relationships.  Disintermediation is not a new idea as catalog companies have been utilizing this method for years.
