Taobao oversea steps, offer items direct from china
Yun Ma, as the small business companies Actively advocate,the ecommerce leaders of the whole asia. seems found a new way to help those chinese small manufactors. By open a ASIAN B2C Cross platform, the "Big taobao plan" started it's international steps.
The news from the Asian web world months ago. yahoo japan and taobao (China's largest e-retailer) have agreed to launch a cross-border initiative under which both services will link their online shopping services starting June 1. Through the tie-up, Yahoo Japan and Taobao merchants will be able to sell products to buyers in each other's markets.
For that purpose, Yahoo Japan will launch a so-called China Mall in its shopping section, carrying about 50 million products from China (in Japanese language) right from the beginning. Taobao plans to initially offer about 8 million products from Japan-based merchants on "TaoJapan", a Chinese-language section on Taobao's homepage.
Sellers and buyers are said to notice not much of a difference, as they will continue to list products, handle sales and pay for purchases just like they used to and in their native languages (product information will most likely be machine translated).
Rumors about negotiations between Yahoo Japan and Taobao first came to light early last month , and both companies sure have the power to pull this off. Yahoo janpan shopping is the country's second biggest e-commerce platform, while Taobao's 190 million registered users generated a transaction volume of a whopping $29 billion last year.
And both companies already have a close, albeit indirect, relationship. Yahoo Japan's biggest shareholder, telecom giant softbank , happens to own a 33% stake in Alibaba Group Under the e-commerce tie-up, Alibaba subsidiaries in Japan and China are expected to manage functions like cross-border shipping, payment settlement, cloud computing services etc.
E-commerce players like Amazon or eBay should be looking closely at what was established in the world's largest and third largest Internet market today. At the news conference announcing the Yahoo Japan-Taobao partnership in Tokyo, SoftBank Presidentsaid the future marketplace will be visited by some 260 million people, which according to him will make it the world's largest by potential customers.
Another thing is the alipay also had a plan to enter the western country.
Alibaba Announced with paypal few days ago, paypal will become the Aliexpress' payment tool.Aliexpress is the small order wholesale online platform which like dhgate.com. through this cooperation, the sellers on Aliexpress can ask their buyers to use paypal.
Ironically,the owner of paypal, ebay once are the mainly Competitor of taobao.com in china.
But so far as now, the taobao.com still not known by most people out of asia, taobao has a long way to go if it's plan is to cover the wholeworld. It's hard to promote to a different market.
as we see,this act of taojapan is just with some tentative mean.Ma wanna to obtain the wide market future for his sellers and his IPO plan.that's all.
Actually this platform is rough now, particularly for the taobao sellers, they have no skill to sell items to another totally different,both the language and knowledge. The items selling on taojapan.com are so rare compare with the hundred million items on Taobao.com.
I even believe the oversea buy agent for taobao agent or china buy agent website will do better than alibaba.com it self.
Course of the alipay,taobao.com don't support other's countries' bank card, so there are some websites to offer a agent service to help people directly buy from taobao, where the place everyone can see the real price of the china manufactors and market.
like Taobaoenglish.cometc.Objectively, they helped taobao to promote it's Influence overseas.
Generally, it's hard for taobao to open a Battlefield over china. anyway the ecommerce still made the china products directly offer to europe and american market.No matter taobao is or not a super lead in this field.
