With the rapid development, the foreign trade industry is now very popular on the Internet, many people choose to enter the industry to start a business, but there are many foreign trade platforms, below I talk about my own experience, a brief introduction to the difference between these platforms.
At present, the most intense number of its Aliexpress platform, which is also the first c2c foreign trade platform that I use, easy to register, you can directly register with an account, simple background operation, easier for novice sellers to get started, online customer service. With the rapid development of AliExpress, in 2016, it has begun to charge annual technical service fees by category, ranging from 3,000 to 50,000 yuan, and has begun to transform into B2C, so it is recommended to enter under the premise of having funds and a team.
The second, of course, is Amazon, the biggest online retailer, which has 59% of the US market share and is robbing the remaining 41%. Although the background can choose the Chinese interface, but still need a strong foreign language ability, you can register a personal account, but there are restrictions, it is best to register their own trademark after entering, the unit price of product sales is higher than other platforms, buyers are high quality, the requirements for products and services, in popular terms is a lot of high B, it is recommended to make up the platform rules and then sell. The Pro Seller plan is $39.99 per month, and Posting is free.
The third thing to say is ebay, is currently struggling under the squeeze of Aliexpress, the style of this platform is also based on individual sellers, can sell second-hand products, the biggest feature is its auction system, registration is convenient, but the number of products published is limited, due to the situation is forced, ebay is also making adjustments, giving a lot of convenient policies. Listing fees and transaction fees are charged. Account system is powerful, do not mess with registration.
The fourth is the Dunhuang network, in the local friends can be direct, the target group is small and medium-sized businesses, but the number of page views is low, the third party management software that can be used is not much, more than 300 US dollars of orders have special concessions, small wholesale is the first choice.
The fifth wish, known as Amazon, is currently the first shopping platform in North America, 90% of the sellers are Chinese, completely different form of sales, refund is very quick, to be prepared psychologically, imitation of the fine is very heavy. To carry out your own entrepreneurial process on this, be sure to see the rules clearly, and punish you without discussion, tens of thousands of dollars are still withheld.
The sixth, let's talk about it, when the force of foreign trade, it will also follow up to seize the Russian traffic, although it does not show any advantages at present, but with the strong ability, the later stage should make a difference, in addition to wish financing 50 million US dollars, may have the meaning of joint attack, the seller's entry threshold is slightly higher.
In addition, there is the LAZADA platform positioned in the Southeast Asian market, the ensogo platform of Mango cooperation, and more new platforms are emerging. For inland areas, more business is B2B platform, the reason.
Cross-border e-commerce has strong requirements for supply, operation, and careful consideration of its own conditions.
Platforms pay more and more attention to buyer experience, and the requirements for services and brands are getting higher and higher, and the team model is an inevitable trend.
