Editor's Notes

  • #11 China and Hong Kong are among the world’s most exciting ecommerce markets, thanks to eBay’s burgeoning relationships with, and the dynamic growth of, Asian exporters. Consider these facts:• Sales from large China exporters on eBay grew by 34%. In Hong Kong, a more established export hub for eBay, large exporters grew by 14%. • The Asian exporter with the largest turnover on eBay is based in Hong Kong and this year recorded sales of over US$21.7 million. Another 90 Hong Kong based exporters turned over more than US$1 million.• In China, 65 exporters turned over more than US$1 million, with the largest recording annual sales of over US$14.3 million.• Computers are the top-selling items among China exporters on eBay. In Hong Kong photographic items top the list.
