Chinese sellers find global buyers

Local companies use Amazon to graduate from plugs, chargers to furniture, scooters

Amazon.com Inc has promised to continue expanding and improving the services it offers to its China-based sellers, who saw sales increase by about 1.5 times year-on-year to North America and Japan during last week's Black Friday retail promotion.

Since the launch of its Amazon Global Selling platform in 2012, which enables third-party merchants to export their products and build their brands globally, Amazon's Vice-President Eric Broussard said its number of China-based sellers has grown 13 times - an expansion rate which he expects to continue.
