eShopping contains sites of which the primary focus is to allow the consumer to select and obtain goods and services over the Web. Common examples include:

• Integrated online shopping-cart systems that allow the user to order directly over the Web
• Online shopping-cart systems that allow the user to generate an order form to be sent to the merchant via fax or snail-mail
• Simple directories of products and prices that the user can order via mail or phone.

The key is that the site contains three elements: lists of products for sale, prices, and information on how the consumer can obtain the product from their own home.
