E-commerce and E-commerce Fraud in Saudi Arabia: A Case Study

This paper will discusses the potential market for e-commerce in Saudi Arabia, the current infrastructure available and plans for future infrastructure developments to better support the growing e-commerce marketplace. During a field trip to Saudi Arabia the following information was collected to describe the current situation of e-commerce in Saudi and to help determine its future. The choice of Saudi Arabia for this study arose from two factors, first: Saudi is a growing market for e-commerce and disputes; second: some important information was needed to be collected to test the proposed e-commerce taxonomy, and Saudi has less strict privacy rules.
