Used to buy a lot from them. They use the ;P money to take over big loss companies to look bigger. Too bad, they tripped halfway, in S. Korea, before being listed.

It's not sitting well. It's just sitting there cos cannot compete with bigger platforms like shopee and lazada. Those bigger platforms can burn money to give discounts and attract more users to their platform. Qoo10 probably tried to do the same and burn till no money.

I am surprise they lasted so long.

The end is somewhat inevitable. Given the 2 competitor have so much cash to burn.

Shopee is smart to come bank and credit card services.

Now so many games to play as well…
Play these games can prevent dementia?
