C2C is the business model that facilitates commerce between private individuals. An example of C2C transactions would be the classifieds section of a newspaper or an auction. In both cases, a customer not a business – sells goods or services to another customer. A more high-tech version of this is the rise of apps like Leto and Offer Up that allows consumers to sell to their neighbours. Leto boasts 75 million downloads and 200 million listings since 2015.         https://drudesk.c2c.com
