Buying a an ecommerce business is a bit different from other business acquisitions, it all comes down to a thorough due diligence, I was reading an article last week regarding this: https://feinternational.com/blog/e-commerce-business-due-diligence-checklist/ You also want to ask the seller how he stocks inventory and get information on what the overhead cost is and your margins.

Do some research on different types of e-com businesses and associated benefits/risks of each model. Lot's of variables. Website direct vs Amazon/eBya/Walmart/et al. Dropship vs self-fulfill vs FBA. If you have specific questions, let me know and I'll try to be of help.
