    After racking up combined losses of $3bn(£2.1bn) in the past six years, including a thumping $1bn-plus deficit in 2000, Amazon reported net profits of $5.1m (£3.6m) for the final three months of 2001.

    So this show that even the internet giant like Amazon can't make profit at the beginning of stage.Many internet companies couldn't survive the beginning stage, i would say pets.com is the one of them.

    fren, we are just concern about the sustainable e-commerce... because our title is about a success e-commerce but not the profitable e-commerce. maybe you are right, e-commerce companies face a long period of loss after starting an e-commerce business but i'm sure that the success e-commerce have their own way to overcome this problem... therefore, some e-commerce companies cant sustain anymore who failed to do so.
