[Edit this paragraph] Products and services

Taobao is a C2C (customer-to-customer) online platform for personal transactions and a large auction website in China, which was founded by Alibaba.

Commodity:

In recent years, Taobao's products have increased significantly, ranging from cars and computers to clothing and household items. It has also set up an online game equipment trading area, which is worth seeing for online game lovers.

As an auction website, Taobao's outstanding point is that if the remaining time of goods is within 1 hour, the time display is dynamic and accurate to the second.

Featured services:

Different from Yi Bei, members feel a relaxed and lively family-style cultural atmosphere during the transaction. One example is the instant messaging tool of members-"Taobao Want Want". After the membership registration, the members of Taobao and Taobao Want Want will be universal. If the user enters a store and the owner is online, the "Owner Online" icon will appear, so that you can send and receive messages with the owner in time. "Taobao Want Want" has the function of inquiring about the transaction history, understanding the other party's credit situation and other personal information, avatar, multi-party chat and other general instant chat tools.

Security system:

Taobao also pays attention to the construction of integrity and security, and introduces a real-name authentication system to distinguish between individual users and businesses. These two certifications need to submit different materials. Individual users only need to provide identification, and businesses also need to provide business licenses. Moreover, a person cannot apply for two certifications at the same time. In this respect, we can see Taobao's efforts in regulating businesses.

Taobao also launched a credit evaluation system. Click to view the credit evaluation obtained by the seller in the past.

As for the transaction security of buyers and sellers in the payment link, Taobao launched a payment delivery method called Alipay to reduce the transaction risk. Alipay is especially suitable for trading computers, mobile phones, jewelry and other items with higher unit price or all transactions that want to be safer. Using Alipay in Taobao is free at present. When users use the payment goods, they pay through the ICBC interface of Taobao, and users do not have to bear the remittance fee.

When shopping, especially when buying large items, pay attention to whether the seller agrees to use Alipay. If you agree to Alipay, the insurance factor will be even greater. If the seller does not agree to use Alipay, you can contact the seller. When the seller doesn't agree to use Alipay, even if you are a little worried about him, it's better not to trade.

[Edit this paragraph] Taobao Mall

Taobao Mall is a new B2C(B means business enterprise, and it is a business-to-person shopping platform) created by Taobao, the largest shopping website in Asia, while Taobao is a C2C online trading platform (C means customer and consumer), which is mainly personal-to-personal. Taobao Mall integrates thousands of brands and manufacturers to provide a one-stop solution between merchants and consumers. Provide goods 100% quality assurance, after-sales service for 7 days, no reason to return goods, cash back to shopping points and other quality services. Unlike Taobao, merchants and enterprises are sellers, so if you want to have absolute quality assurance, Taobao Mall is your best choice.

Taobao Mall is in a high-speed development stage, and various new online marketing models are constantly being created. Joining the brand mall will have more opportunities to contact the most cutting-edge e-commerce and create more miracles for the brand-new B2C business.

Summarize the characteristics of Taobao.com and Taobao Mall: Taobao is a C2C seller, mostly self-employed and many shopkeepers, so things are rich and varied, and the price is low, but the quality cannot be fully guaranteed. It can be said that it is a mixed bag! Taobao Mall is a B2C seller, all enterprises, with a certain scale, reliable supply and guaranteed quality, but the price is usually more expensive!
