Peer to Peer (P2P) e-commerce part 2

Software that can operate on a computer is known as an application. Examples include web browsers, email, gaming, and many more. This allows it to be put to good use in accomplishing a certain goal or solving a particular issue quickly.

There are a plethora of P2P programs to choose from. If you’re interested in renting out a house, an apartment, or a private room, you may utilize the Airbnb app, which acts as a middleman between renters and homeowners looking to make some extra money. In San Francisco, California, in 2008, Airbnb began to take form. Travelers from more than 200 million cities in 65 thousand nations and 191 regions have already made use of more than one million locations (Airbnb, 2008). With the help of Airbnb, you may meet new people and travel in new and interesting ways. It is also possible for Airbnb users to rent their homes for varying lengths of time at various costs.

As an additional example of a P2P app, eBay might be cited.

Pierre Omidyar launched eBay in San Jose, California, on September 3, 1995. The eB online market does not need registration to see the products you’re searching for or that are sold on eBay, but registration is required to buy or sell anything. In order to establish an eBay account, you will be required to provide personal information such as your name, email address, and password. A unique eBay user ID is issued to you after the account registration / sign-up procedure is complete, even if you have not yet transacted in the eBay online market.
