1. Different business models Amazon: network platform + supply chain + warehousing; Taobao: network platform. Correspondingly, Amazon is equivalent to a large supermarket in real life, where only merchants can enter, that is, B2C, while Taobao is a large market, in which most transactions are between individuals, that is, C2C

2. Different target customers Amazon: personalized services, belonging to the mid-to-high-end market; Taobao: popular services, belonging to the mid-to-low-end market.

3. Different profit models Amazon: lower supply chain and warehousing costs, earn low profits; Taobao: advertising display, advertising search, value-added services, etc.

In summary, the difference between Amazon and Taobao is the difference between B2C and C2C. I personally think that B2C has huge room for development in China

One is giving money to Jack Ma and the other is giving money to Bezos. That's the difference

Amazon's no-source store group is a hot project at the moment, but people who know e-commerce know that Taobao can also do a no-source model. In this case, many people will compare these two models to determine which one is suitable for them and which one has a better future. Amazon's prospects and profits are more considerable

1. Product differences The difficulty of operating the same product on Taobao and Amazon is different: Even if you have a particularly good product on Taobao, it may not be able to make a product popular, because in addition to the product, it pays more attention to marketing, and requires sellers to have mature marketing skills and operational experience; Amazon pays more attention to the product itself, and the quality and potential of the product are put first. Generally, as long as the seller uses less thought, he can choose a good product. In addition, with the strength of China's manufacturing industry, it is easy to choose a suitable product.

2. Different operations The traditional store Taobao model is to use collection software to collect products from other merchants from 1688 or Taobao Alliance, and then modify the information according to your needs and upload it to the store. Amazon's no-source model uses the ERP system to collect goods from domestic e-commerce platforms such as 1688, Tmall, and Taobao, and then modifies the product specifications and attributes through the system background. After optimization, it can be translated and uploaded to the Amazon store with one click. The system will translate the language suitable for the local site according to the site, such as English for the US site, Italian and French, etc.

3. Different profits Those who have worked as a store Taobao agent should know that the price of the uploaded store goods is generally multiplied by 1.1~2.5 on the basis of the original price. Take 1.8 for example, that is, a product with a purchase price of 10 yuan is sold at a price of 18, minus the postage of 6 yuan, with a net profit of 2 yuan. The profit of a store Taobao agent is generally around 20%.

Amazon is targeting foreign markets, and they pay more attention to the development of information industry and heavy industry, while ignoring the development of light industry. Moreover, their consumption standards and income levels are much higher than those in China. Therefore, it is normal for them to price a product worth 10 yuan in China at 10 US dollars or 10 pounds abroad, just like asking you to spend 10 yuan to buy a cup. 10 US dollars is equivalent to 66 yuan in RMB, minus the 15% platform commission, the 20 yuan postage, and the purchase price, the profit of one order is about 30% to 50%. In addition, there is no customer service on the Amazon platform. Sellers and buyers can only communicate through emails, which reduces the problem of pre-sales communication and saves trouble for sellers who do not understand English.
