Jump Shopping yesterday, Monday, 8 October 2007, launched the second 2007 South African E-Commerce Awards. The format has not changed and the purpose of the awards is still to give recognition to excellence in the e-commerce arena in SA.

The awards are only for SA online stores, listed and operating in SA. Stores can be nominated for awards in several categories, including; Best Computer Store, Best Book Store, Best Auction Website, Best Ecommerce Enabler and the sought-after award of Best E-Commerce Site.
