              eB2B Commerce, Inc. Files For Relief under Chapter 11

New York, NY - (BUSINESS WIRE) - October 28, 2004 - eB2B Commerce, Inc. ("eB2B")
(PK: EBTB.PK), a provider of business-to-business order management and supplier
enablement services announced today that it had filed a voluntary petition for
relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, Chapter 11 Case number
04-16926(CB), assigned to the Honorable Cornelius Blackshear.

The company filed its petition to effectuate a settlement, in principle, reached
with the holders of its outstanding Senior Secured Convertible Notes under a
Plan of Reorganization filed with the Court. The company intends to seek prompt
approval of its Plan in accordance with the provisions of federal bankruptcy
law. The company's bankruptcy counsel is Halperin Battaglia Raicht, LLP and
corporate counsel is Sadis & Goldberg LLC.

In order to maintain its continuity of service, the company also announced that
it has arranged, subject to the approval of the Court, debtor-in-possession
("DIP") financing with Enable Corporation, a company formed by the majority of
its Senior Secured Note holders. The company expects that the DIP financing will
fund its ongoing operations, as necessary, during the pendency of the bankruptcy
process until the bankruptcy court can consider confirmation of its Plan of
Reorganization.

Until approval of the Plan, the company expects to operate eB2B's business
without interruption and believes that eB2B will continue to provide its
customers with the same responsiveness and quality of service.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS - Certain of the statements contained herein should
be considered "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which reflect the current views of

eB2B Commerce, Inc. (the "Company") with respect to current events and financial
performance. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as
"may," "will," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "plan,"
"could," "should," and "continue" or similar words. These forward-looking
statements may also use different phrases. Such forward-looking statements are
and will be, as the case may be, subject to many risks, uncertainties and
factors relating to the Company's operations and business environment which may
cause the actual results of the Company to be materially different from any
future results, express or implied, by such forward-looking statements. Factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking
statements include, but are not limited to, the following: the ability of the
Company to continue as a going concern; the ability of the Company to obtain and
maintain any necessary financing for operations and other purposes, whether
debtor-in-possession financing or other financing; the Company's ability to
obtain court approval with respect to motions in the Chapter 11 proceeding
prosecuted by it from time to time; the ability of the Company to develop,
prosecute, confirm and consummate one or more plans of reorganization with
respect to the Chapter 11 proceedings; risks associated with third parties
seeking and obtaining court approval to terminate or shorten the exclusivity
period for the Company to propose and confirm one or more plans of
reorganization, for the appointment of a Chapter 11 trustee or to convert the
cases to Chapter 7 cases; the ability of the Company to obtain and maintain
normal terms with vendors and service providers; the Company's ability to
maintain contracts that are critical to its operations; the potential adverse
impact of the Chapter 11 proceedings on the Company's liquidity or results of
operations; the ability of the Company to operate pursuant to the terms of its
financing facilities (particularly the financial covenants); the ability of the
Company to fund and execute its reorganization plan during the Chapter 11
proceedings and in the context of a plan of reorganization and thereafter; the
ability of the Company to attract, motivate and/or retain key executives and
associates; the ability of the Company to attract and retain customers; the
ability of the Company to maintain satisfactory labor relations; economic
conditions; labor costs; financing availability and costs; insurance costs;
competitive pressures on pricing and on demand; and other risks and
uncertainties listed from time to time in the Company's reports to the SEC.
There may be other factors not identified above of which the Company is not
currently aware that may affect matters discussed in the forward-looking
statements, and may also cause actual results to differ materially from those
discussed. The Company assumes no obligation to update such estimates to reflect
actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting
such estimates other than as required by law. Similarly, these and other
factors, including the terms of any reorganization plan ultimately confirmed,
can affect the value of the Company's various pre-petition liabilities, common
stock and/or other equity securities. Accordingly, the Company urges that the
appropriate caution be exercised with respect to existing and future investments
in any of these liabilities and/or securities.
