Whether you’re an Aussie retailer selling locally or an international retailer hoping to reach our shores, one thing is for certain: you need to be leveraging marketplaces to reach your audience.
eBay Australia may have launched in the 90s, but marketplaces in Australia have experienced a massive boom. From Amazon coming down under in 2017 to the repositioning of MyDeal and the evolution of Catch, the opportunities for retailers are enormous.
