Before starting your shopping agent journey, please briefly read this introduction of Chinese popular e-commerce platforms.

Tmall: Tmall.com is an open and largest business-to-consumer (B2C) retail platform in Asia enabling businesses world-wide to reach China’s vast and growing consumer market. Tmall.com has established itself as the destination for quality, brand-name goods catering to increasingly sophisticated Chinese consumers and is the most visited B2C online retail website in China. As Tmall set high standard for the products, most of the products are slightly higher than the market price. But the reputation is great. If you are looking for good quality products, we recommend you to choose Tmall.

Taobao: Founded by Alibaba Group on May 10, 2003, Taobao marketplace facilitates consumer-to-consumer (C2C) retail by providing a platform for small businesses and individual entrepreneurs to open online stores that mainly cater to consumers in Chinese-speaking regions (Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan) and also abroad. As there are so many sellers on the marketplace with different level of reputation, it might be difficult for consumers to choose the right thing. In order to avoid any unnecessary lost, we recommend consumer to check out the seller’s reputation, such as whether this store provides deposit or not, or check out the store reputation rating and customer reviews.

JD.COM: Back to the early stage, JD used to be an e-commerce for electronics and nowadays, it has become a comprehensive e-commerce platform where most of the products’ price is relatively low. Focus on customer first, JD promises users that all the products sold are 100% good quality and authorized, just like the products you bought from the local market, with guarantee, invoice, professional delivery and after-sales care. After JD has transferred to a platform, an increasing number of sellers have established their online store in JD. However, delivery time and after-sales quality are not guarantee anymore. We recommend users to choose JD self-running items as a priority.
