Recommendation

China’s cross-border e-commerce has been growing at breakneck pace, and unsurprisingly, China’s small and medium-sized vendors make up the main corps on Amazon’s third-party cross-border online marketplace. Although the partnership is profitable for Chinese vendors, many complain about discriminatory business practices at Amazon. In this investigative report posted on Chinese tech media outlet PingWest, writer Xuan Ning charts the falling-out. Entrepreneurs and consumers will find this fascinating behind-the-scenes analysis intriguing.

Take-Aways

  • Amazon’s third-party marketplace allows Chinese vendors to sell directly to US customers.
  • Cross-border sales are lucrative for the Chinese.
  • Some vendors accuse Amazon of appropriating their goods to sell them directly.
