E-commerce was first born in the United States. In the early 1990s, with the popularization and development of the Internet, American companies began to explore the possibility of conducting business activities through the Internet.

In 1995, Amazon was founded and became one of the earliest online retailers.

In the same year, eBay (then called AuctionWeb) also went into operation and became the earliest online auction platform.

The establishment and success of these companies laid the foundation for e-commerce, and in the following years, it quickly developed and influenced the global business model. Therefore, it can be said that the earliest origin of e-commerce is the United States.
