EBay China to provide free shops
Published December 22nd, 2005
Online auction house eBay China said yesterday it will provide free services for cyber shop owners starting today.
The move aims to compete with rival taobao.com, a subsidiary of Jack Ma’s Alibaba.com Inc, which has promised free service until 2008.
EBay China said it will stop charging sellers for establishing online shops but will still charge users for listing products in the shops and collect a commission on completed deals.
