One of the most important disadvantages of e-commerce can be a lack of reliability and security because of poor implementation. The other factor is user resistance as most people are not comfortable in making a purchase without trying or physically touching the product.

This is especially true in the case of apparel where finding the right size is always a permanent problem.

As good as e-commerce is it as some disadvantages, for example during site crash people are on able to buy, also you can't test products before purchasing them and some times e-commerce products takes time before delivery especially during the pandemic period
 
  • Faster buying process.
  • Store and product listing creation.
  • Cost reduction.
  • Affordable advertising and marketing.
  • Flexibility for customers.
  • No reach limitations.
  • Product and price comparison.
  • Faster response to buyer/market demands.
 
One of the major disadvantages of an e-commerce portal is that a customer is unable to try and test the product for his own satisfaction. We are habituated to buy at physical stores after trying a product several times and suddenly it takes a lot of guts to change this lifetime habit where you cannot touch, try and test beforehand. People miss the tangible feeling and there is always the fear that the product will not meet the standard you are expecting. This makes the consumer a bit hesitant before making a purchase.
 
They are various however the head of which is the organization giving that will give organization to the stage in which one will do the selling of one's acceptable. On the off chance that the organization are awful for a day it implies the shop is shut for the afternoon.
 
One of the major disadvantage is
Security
Online portals have been in the news a lot because of hacks by cybercriminals and hackers. It is a very serious issue as your account might be hacked because of negligence and wiped out clean of the existing cash.
 
Talking a about the disadvantages of E-commerce, there can be lack of system security, reliability or standards owing to poor implementation of e-commerce. The software development industry is still evolving and keeps changing rapidly. In many countries, network bandwidth might cause an issue. Special types of web servers or other software might be required by the vendor, setting the e-commerce environment apart from network servers. Sometimes, it becomes difficult to integrate an e-commerce software or website with existing applications or databases.

an ecommerce website to your already successful retail establishment probably sounds like a great idea. But just as it is important to explore the advantages of ecommerce, it is also important to explore the disadvantages as well.
Customers Have Concerns About Privacy and Security
Many consumers are still wary about giving out personal information — especially credit and debit cards — to online sources. The fact is, instances of fraud has grown with the growth of the ecommerce sector, so online stores have to have secure systems, encrypted payment software, and other safeguards against online fraud. We’re not saying that you won’t get orders purely because of security concerns. But it’s something to keep in mind.
 
Although there are many advantages of e-commerce, but there are many issues that are still not definitively settled; Because of the limited e-commerce experience and the short time in which it was used, especially on topics related to the issue of cost and competition.
Give me some thoughts about Disadvantages of e-commerce?
There are many disadvantage of e-commerce business nowadays and some of them are these... Low quality products: some products displayed and advertised on many e-commerce websites are not actually what they are portrayed to be. I recently ordered for a silver crest blender and when I got the order, I was totally disappointed
 
Since clients can see your items yet can't contact and check the quality, they may restore the items they buy. You can empower/debilitate the return window for your items, according to your decision, yet it is a typical practice to permit gets back to inside 3-7 days. The profits are unavoidable and similarly despicable for your internet business.
So this means goods can be returned by customers anyhow.
 
Despite its numerous advantages, its disadvantages are also visible to be seen. E-commerce opens up the space for fraudulent activities. Since the business is strictly online, it means you are reliant on the network provider. In case of bad service, there will be no sales.
 
Due to weak e-commerce implementation, there may be a lack of system security, reliability or standards.

The software development market is still developing and continues to evolve rapidly.

Network bandwidth may create a problem in many countries.

The supplier could need specific types of web servers or other software, setting the e-commerce environment apart from network servers.
 
For me, the major disadvantage is insecurity and fraud. It is one of the reasons why I don't really shop online unless it is a trusted site. Bank card details and personal information are not safe on some shopping sites, it may not be the fault of the store owner but there should be measures put in place to avoid this.

I do not think the disadvantage of E-commerce is numerous. It's quite little. You can end up buying a low quality product through online shopping. Sometimes there might be delay in getting an item you requested for online.
