AMAZON.COM

Amazon.com, Inc. is an American-based multinational electronic commerce company. Jeff Bezosfounded Amazon.com, Inc. in 1994 and launched it online in 1995. The company began as an online bookstore, while the largest brick-and-mortar bookstores and mail-order catalogs for books might offer 200,000 titles, an on-line bookstore could offer more. Bezos named the company "Amazon" after the world's biggest river. Since 2000, Amazon's logotype is an arrow leading from A to Z, representing customer satisfaction (as it forms a smile) and the goal to have every product in the alphabet. Then the others product is VHS, DVD, music CDs and MP3s, computer software, video games, electronics, apparel, furniture, food, toys, etc. Amazon has established separate websites in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, and China. It also provides international shipping to certain countries for some of its products.

On January 15, 2009, a survey published by Verdict Research found that Amazon was the UK's favorite music and video retailer, and came third in overall retail rankings. The company remains profitable: net income was $35.3 million in 2003, $588.50 million in 2004, $359 million in 2005, and $190 million in 2006 (including a $662 million charge for R&D in 2006), nevertheless, the firm's cumulative profits remain negative. As of September 2007, the accumulated deficit stood at $1.58 billion. Revenues increased thanks to product diversification and an international presence: $3.9 billion in 2002, $5.3 billion in 2003, $6.9 billion in 2004, $8.5 billion in 2005, and $10.7 billion in 2006.

EBAY

In addition to its original U.S. website, eBay has established localized websites in thirty other countries. eBay Inc. also owns PayPal, Skype (to be sold soon), StubHub, Kijiji, and other businesses.

eBay has built an online person-to-person trading community on the Internet, using the World Wide Web. Buyers and sellers are brought to gether in a manner where sellers are permitted to list items for sale, buyers to bid on items of interest and all eBay users to browse through listed items in a fully automated way. The items are arranged by topics, where each type of auction has its own category. eBay has both streamlined and globalized traditional person-to-person trading, which has traditionally been conducted through such forms as garage sales, collectibles shows, flea markets and more, with their web interface.

Last but not least, after i have conducting this research i believe that Amazon.com is trully offer

the lowest price everyday. This can see by the price compare to the competitor that i have

choose, eBay. eBay price is more expensive than Amazon.com. eBay also one of the type of

business like Amazon.com. Amazon.com will be a leader of everyday low price because the price

that they have give to their customer is lower and than others. Further more, Amazon.com

provide many products to their customer to make it easily to make a decision to purchase what

they want. Then from that, it make the price of product is lower compare to the others company.

Duhai bonda duhai ayahanda
Dengarlah rayuan anakanda
Yang jauh di mata…

Tanpa ku sedari airmata ku mengalir
Terdengar ayat suci seruan takbir
Betapa daku gembira dekat di samping keluarga
Di pagi mulia hari raya

Kan ku sujud di kakimu bila kita bertemu
Kan ku cium tangan mu ku pohon restu
Oh maafkan daku kesalahan diri ku

Walau jauh di mata namun kau tak dapat ku lupa
Doa ku sepanjang masa agar kau bahagia
Ku pohon restu dari mu oh ayah dan ibu
Agar tercapai cita ku membela nasib mu

Kan ku sujud di kakimu bila kita bertemu
Kan ku cium tangan mu ku pohon restu
Oh maafkan daku kesalahan diri ku

Kesalahan diri ku…
