As well as examining the difference regarding the e-retailing ethics framework among a B2B and B2C in the UK and Egypt. Also, the moderating role of confidence benefits and buying frequency between e-retailing ethics and customer satisfaction. The research model was developed based on the literature review. The results: Ethical problems like security, privacy, reliability, non-deception and corporate social responsibility on Internet are core issues that limit the growth of online retailing.
