Launches a Global B2B e-Marketplace The
CEO Refresher, May 1, 2000 Business
notes As an online model of the traditional land-based barter exchanges, BarterItOnline.com has positioned itself as a key tool for small- and medium-sized businesses to market themselves, reward and compensate employees, open new sales channels, and acquire the products and services they need to thrive in the new economy. BarterItOnline facilitates trading between businesses and professionals by creating a virtual currency, E-dollars, which members use to buy and sell at the site. The benefit of using a common currency is that, unlike the case with online "swap" sites, it offers flexibility to users by enabling them to trade fluidly with any member of the BarterItOnline community. Purchases and sales are recorded by the exchange, which receives a transaction fee from the buyer at the time of the purchase. Weston Town Crier & Tab, May 18, 2000
