Competition is far fiercer here, they have to contend with Alibaba-backed platforms as well. I also have access to Taobao. It's not going to be as straightforward as it is in the USA.

I believe you, but the ultimate goal for all of those platforms is monopoly, looking at their track record. Like Peter Thiel said, competition is for losers.

I'm really not sure why you're arguing with me, and where you're going with this? I feel like you expect me to denounce Amazon and give up all ecommerce platforms, is that what you expect me to do?

Geez, what crawled up your ass and died? No need for hostility, I am simply expressing my thoughts. Do whatever the fuck you want, I’d take advantage of the honeymoon phase and drop them like a hot sack of shit once the find out stage begins.
