Taobao revises fee plan

Earlier proposed increases slashed but small vendors vow to fight on

HANGZHOU - Taobao Mall, the country's leading online retail platform, announced revised fees on Monday and a 1.8 billion yuan ($282.2 million) investment plan to aid the development of small- and medium-sized enterprises, in a move seen as a conciliatory gesture following a bitter online fee dispute.

But some small vendors insisted that the "fight for their rights" will continue.
