Alibabacom Introduces Semimanaged Model for Crossborder Sellers

Alibaba.com has launched a "Semi-Managed" mode, aiming to lower the barriers to entry for cross-border e-commerce by providing sellers with dedicated marketing, logistics fulfillment, and return services. Unlike the fully managed model, in the semi-managed mode, merchants retain the right to set their own prices and can directly interact with buyers, making it more suitable for businesses with sourcing advantages. Whether this model will become a new trend in cross-border e-commerce remains to be seen and requires market validation.
