易趣跨境是美国电子商务公司eBay(Nasdaq: EBAY)创立于1995年9月,最初是一家在线拍卖公司,但目前大部分商品的销售都是以固定价格进行。
eBay于2002年进驻中国,一年后淘宝网上线,为了狙击eBay,阿里巴巴创始人马云宣布了淘宝网的3年免费战略。
2006年,eBay易趣与淘宝结束四年的“对战”,宣布将部分股份卖给TOM,这被解读为eBay退出中国大陆市场。如今的eBay中国区主要业务是“为中国卖家开辟直接面向海外的销售渠道,帮助中国卖家往全球售卖商品”。
eBay Cross-border E-commerce is an American e-commerce company eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY) founded in September 1995. It was originally an online auction company, but most of the goods are currently sold at fixed prices.
eBay entered China in 2002, and Taobao went online a year later. In order to snipe eBay, Alibaba founder Jack Ma announced Taobao's 3-year free strategy.
In 2006, eBay and Taobao ended their four-year "battle" and announced that they would sell part of their shares to TOM, which was interpreted as eBay's withdrawal from the Chinese mainland market. Today, the main business of eBay China is to "open up direct overseas sales channels for Chinese sellers and help Chinese sellers sell goods globally."
