Default Bigger than Amazon & Ebay : Alibaba Shares To Be Priced For Record Sale

China's Massive trader
wants to expand even more
of course many items are sold at 1000
amounts you must buy.

So until they change that
its no major threat to Amazon or Ebay.


http://news.sky.com/story/1337743/al...or-record-sale

[The Chinese e-marketplace Alibaba will set the price for its New York flotation later on Thursday in what is expected to become a record sale.
The move follows a fortnight of roadshows for potential investors across the globe - presentations that drew huge interest and helped Alibaba's founder shift the price range higher ahead of Friday's market debut.]

Most of the crap that ebay and Amazon sell is from Alibaba so no they arent a threat they are Alibaba's children they rely on Alibaba for a lot of their listings that generate them revenue.
Alibaba are wholesale suppliers not retailers they dont need to change they are massive.

I know someone who bought an ipad on there for £35.

When it was delivered only half of it worked.
