True--Customers have more chance to be selective for the Price/frequest price Offers/Changes in Prices for smilar products at Short Notice.

I think yes it's true because online business is easy to enter and also no barriers to enter,  furthermore you don't need a lot of fixed cost compared to the offline business and there is a low level of differentiation and Competitors are of roughly equal size.

True, as no marketing skills can be applied and only Price influence the customer. And customer will get too many options for it.
