Traditional retail involves acquiring goods from physical stores and selling them, while e-commerce entails purchasing products from online marketplaces and reselling them for profit.
Retail is when you purchase products locally at a store to resell. Online is when you’re buying online to resell.
Retail arbitrage involves buying products from physical stores, while online arbitrage involves buying products from online marketplaces. Both methods involve buying products at a low price and reselling them at a higher price.
Retail arbitrage and online arbitrage both involve buying products at a lower price in one market and selling them at a higher price in another, but they differ primarily in sourcing channels, methods, and logistics.
