Re: Alibaba on a mission: Taking on eBay
Quote:Insiders assert that a surprising portion of eBay users, in fact, frequently complete e-commerce transactions using Taobao and its associated e-payment platform AliPay after initially locating products for sale on eBay. That wouldn't surprise me since Taobao is free and AliPay's rates are lower than PayPal's. Quote:the popular Taobao auction site. You could call it that. Here's the latest 1-week traffic numbers (from Alexa) for the 3 largest Chinese auction sites (PaiPai has only been open a few weeks) Traffic Ranking (lower numbers are better): Taobao 16 eBay Eachnet 50 PaiPai 591 Reach per million Internet users (higher is better here): Taobao 16,300 eBay Eachnet 9,000 PaiPai 1,260 Page Views Per Visitor: Taobao 16 eBay Eachnet 7.3 PaiPai 6.1 Now you see why eBay China stopped breaking out its numbers for the press earlier in the year. ![]()
