标题Re: [讨论] Amazon & Ebay
时间Sun Mar 18 01:30:05 2007
当初ebay在收购paypal之前,paypal其实只是一间小公司,甚至bidpay
都还比paypal有规模许多,以消费者理的立场,当然是以方便与安全为主,
paypal就做到这点,虽然老是要冒着被锁帐号的缺点,但是他就不像bidpay
,使用上方便许多(我用过几次bidpay,付个几块钱美金就要你打电话去verify)
也因为成功的结合金流,ebay在全球个人网路购物的地位,迅速成功的窜升到第一位
,这点是当初amazon所始料未及的吧,也许是低估对手造成一个ebay网购巨人的产生
其实ebay这种结合自家的金流系统,有许多人在效法,例如台湾yahoo与ezpay,大陆
淘宝网与支付宝,不过都是区域性的系统,还没有人做到paypal全球的规模
所以如果amazon想自己来结合一个自家的金流,我想目地只有一个,要做到全方面的跨国
,因为碍於金流的限制,amazon中还有许多厂商不做国外生意,只不过在网路平台的战
争中,大者横大似乎是不变的定律,除非对手犯错,要不然amazon要走ebay-paypal
的模式,而重回网购平台的老大地位,我想难上加难,毕竟在网路中,习惯与信任这两个
元素是很重要的平台发展基石
以上是本人的浅见
