Más información sobre Marketplaces

A marketplace is a digital platform that connects multiple sellers with numerous buyers within the same virtual space, facilitating the purchase and sale of products or services without requiring sellers to operate their own online store.

Unlike a traditional eCommerce site, marketplaces offer users a broader selection of grouped items, allowing for quick and easy comparison of prices, shipping conditions, payment methods, and customer reviews. This model has become one of the most significant trends in the field of electronic commerce, as it provides businesses with immediate visibility and simplifies the purchasing process for consumers.

In this section, you will find key information to help you make the most of these platforms, such as the criteria to consider when selecting the most suitable option, commission structures, permitted product types, the user profile each platform targets, and how to sell by adapting your offering to different regulations and cultural preferences.

You will also find practical advice on SEO positioning and persuasive techniques to improve your sales on Amazon, the world’s leading sales platform.

Additionally, you will be able to compare the advantages and disadvantages of major platforms such as Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Etsy, Hacoo (Saramart) and even second-hand item trading apps.
