This week we have prepared a list of trading platforms where online stores can and should be located. The list of sites is not complete, but perhaps you will find in it those sites that suit your store and will generate a lot of income.
For online stores, there are two payment schemes for placement on Yandex.Market - either only for a click on the store’s offer (Pay per click), or for a click on the store’s offer and for orders placed on Yandex.Market (Pay per click + Order commission ). Minimum budget from 100 rubles.
The daily audience is more than 1.9 million people, the monthly audience is more than 14 million people throughout Russia.
The platform is suitable for almost all online stores. It provides more than 1,500 product categories. A large audience and a high conversion rate are a big advantage of this site.
Your products (information about them), uploaded to the service, can be used in product search (Google Product Search) advertising (Google Product Ads), i.e. you can associate advertising messages directly with the product) and when laying out the infrastructure (Google Commerce Search).
For this site you will have to do individual unloading of goods, with integration with CRM. Payment is made per click, the minimum payment is 1000 rubles. Convenient management using Google Adwords. This site does not have a very high conversion rate. But at the same time there is a fairly wide audience reach. Suitable for almost all online stores.
Payment is made per click.
The cost of placement starts from 3 rubles for switching from the store’s product offerings (VAT included).
The Products Mail is very similar in appearance and placement to the Market. The audience on it is currently 3-4 times smaller than Yandex Market, but the conversion percentage is approximately the same. Also suitable for almost all online stores.
They have a fee for listing a product and for selling the product. The cost of placement and the cost per order are calculated separately for each product depending on its value. All calculations are carried out in dollars. Using this link you can calculate how much it will cost to sell some product from them: http://www.fees.ebay.com/feeweb/feecalculator
The site has a high conversion rate, but there are difficulties, since downloads are not accepted and each product must be advertised separately. Suitable for all online stores with an established delivery system throughout Russia or around the world, but exclusively for high-margin goods. Also, your product offerings must either be at a very low price, or unique and one of a kind, in order to successfully use this site.
Relatively large trading platform. They offer to create your website on their subdomain and send goods there through uploading. Payment will be from 2333 rubles per month for an unlimited list of goods. Suitable for those who do not have a complex system for their website, that is, one product - one URL. For those stores that have, for example, a choice of colors on the product card, this site will not be suitable. And, accordingly, the more products on the site, the more profitable this site is for you.
Products will also be displayed on the following sites: http://www.e-katalog.ru/, http://m.ua/, http://www.pokupaj.ru/
Cost from 15 cents per click. There is no subscription fee. Offers are displayed according to an auction scheme: the higher the bid per click, the higher the store's offer is shown. Quite a large audience of visitors.
Since this site associates itself as a platform for comparing prices in online stores, the lower your price, the greater the conversion.
This site does not have clothing sections, but mainly sells equipment, cosmetics, cars, toys, sports and recreational products, and pet supplies.
Posting on it is free. They take a small percentage of the completed orders they bring. Purchase and registration takes place directly from the site. There is integration with various downloads and APIs. Suitable for almost any online store. The traffic on the site is not very large, but since the payment is a percentage of sales realized, it is profitable in any case.
Accommodation on the site is free. Most likely they also take a percentage of orders placed. It is necessary to fill the site with goods manually, without unloading, so the work of a content manager or just an individual will be required.
The site is suitable for clothing and furniture stores. There are no other product categories on this site.
This is a system that manages the placement of price lists on price comparison sites, both specialized and general, with a total monthly audience of more than 1.8 million visitors.
Products will be displayed on the following sites: bigum.ru, centromall.ru, sotoguide.ru, mobisoto.ru

Suitable for hardware, cosmetics, commercial equipment and sports stores. There is no clothing category on the site. At the same time, some services are provided. Quite a small audience due to the inconvenient interface.

After this, Wikimart takes a percentage of all transferred orders, approximately 4% of the order value. And if the client they transferred did not pay and did not buy, then you still pay 4% of the product they selected.
The site provides all categories of goods and also plane and train tickets and hotels. But in terms of investment profitability, online stores with high-margin goods and low prices are more suitable.
The cost of placement is calculated approximately the same as in Yandex.Market. Bids and placements are being managed. Data is loaded from the upload. The cost of a click is from 3 rubles.
The audience on it is currently 3-4 times smaller than Yandex Market, but the conversion percentage is approximately the same. Also suitable for almost all online stores.
This is a huge network of sites on the Internet. You pay a commission on every order they refer. Loading of goods is done through the price list. The average commission is approximately 10%. And on many of the sites there are price restrictions for the goods placed on them, for example, at least 2000 rubles. At the same time, the percentage of canceled orders on all their sites is more than 90%.
To be placed on this site, it is necessary to do individual unloading. They also have retargeting and dynamic product retargeting.
Payment is made per click, but product ads are shown more likely on partner sites by topic. Therefore, the conversion of this site is approaching the conversion of Display Network. You can only pay attention to retargeting. Suitable for almost any online store.
Subscription fee + percentage of sales. The site has more than 700,000 daily unique visitors. Loading goods through price lists. To get good returns from this site, you must have a high product margin and at the same time a competitive price. Suitable for almost any online store. Only furniture and auto themes are not provided in the categories.
Over the past few years, the scale of trade through the World Wide Web has been increasing almost exponentially. The reason for this is the unconditional benefit of the buyer when purchasing goods online. After all, by choosing a product and purchasing it in this way, the client has a much wider range of products and, most importantly, saves a lot of time.
Types of online trading
There are several ways to sell online:
- An online store - that is, a separate website is developed and created, and then its promotion, promotion and ongoing maintenance are carried out.
- Bulletin board. On such resources, advertisements with the seller’s contact information are simply posted. Used for one-time or small purchases.
- Internet platform.
- Online auction.
There are also other, not so popular and well-known options for online trading on the Internet, but we will talk about them another time. This article will consider the option of online trading using large online platforms.
What are Internet platforms
This kind of platform is a special resource on which sellers and buyers enter into purchase and sale transactions. Auctions, competitions, advertising campaigns and other trade events can also be held here. In simple words, an online trading platform can be compared to a large business center in real life, the owner of which rents out premises to trading companies and companies providing various services. Trading and providing services on a network platform, unlike other sales methods, has its advantages, which will be discussed further.
Advantages
An online platform, as a rule, has its advantages:
- Save time. This is one of the most basic benefits because, as they say, “time is money.” And by buying or selling online, you can significantly save this resource, leaving it for other, more necessary things.
- Saving money. There is also a mutual benefit here for both the seller and the buyer, since the first does not spend money on renting space for a retail outlet, and the second, accordingly, pays less for the goods purchased.
- Unlimited geography. This benefit lies in the fact that the seller and the buyer can find each other without leaving their apartment or office, while at the same time being in different parts of the globe.
- Easy start. This advantage, rather, relates to sellers and implies the fact that there is no need to have any knowledge of website building. An online platform for selling goods, as a rule, provides the opportunity to set up your store using ready-made templates, display products, add a description to them and immediately start selling. That is, there is no need to pay a considerable amount to the webmaster for the creation and maintenance of a future store website.
- Saving on advertising. A huge number of stores are already located on large sites. Every day the resource is visited by thousands of potential buyers. Thanks to this, you can save a lot on the promotion and further promotion of your site.
One can talk in such a positive way for quite a long time. But there are also several negative aspects.
Internet platform and its pitfalls
Trading platforms are certainly good, but not everything is as smooth as it might seem at first glance.
Firstly, if you pay a one-time fee for creating your website, then for placing a store on the trading platform, payment will occur regularly.
Secondly, by and large, the site does not belong to the seller anyway. And if, God forbid, some force majeure happens and the site suspends or even ceases its activities, the seller will not be able to influence the course of events in any way. He will either need another online platform, or he will be forced to create his own personal store on the site.
Thirdly, despite the ease of creating a store using ready-made templates, the future seller will still be limited in the choice of design or specialized settings, compared to the situation when a webmaster creates a website for him that takes into account all his wishes.
Well, it’s also worth taking into account the fact that in addition to developing your own business, there is some investment of capital in someone else’s, since you have to pay for renting space on the site, perhaps pay for some advertising services in order to stand out from other stores located on the site, and so on. Or perhaps it would be better to invest this part of the capital in the development of your own resource?
Reflections
So, what is better - a separate online store or placement on a large online platform? There is no clear answer here. As they say, it depends on the taste and color... Much depends on the specific case and situation. For example, if this is an online platform for Chinese goods, where there are small sales volumes with medium-sized profits or one-time sales, short-term projects, etc., then in this case it is better to use the services of a large resource. But if you plan to work permanently in this type of business with the prospect of development, increasing cash flow and the volume of services provided, then it is better to develop your own resource. You can also add that it is better to start activities on the site, and in the future it will be advisable to switch to your own resource.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it is worth saying that trade on the World Wide Web is rapidly developing, the range of goods and services provided online is growing, and competition is also growing. And if now a new online platform for trading in Russia, its opening and promotion is quite realistic, then we should not forget that every year, month, and even day it becomes more and more difficult to find your niche in this business. There is no need to hesitate and doubt. Time is money. There's no need to waste time.
In this video we will tell you how to find platforms and trading portals to post information about your products.
When searching for sites, we will be guided by the following principle. You only need to post on sites that are advanced in search engines. It is rare for portals to receive traffic other than from search engines. Only some large portals use additional advertising. Therefore, we need portals where we can see for ourselves that people get to them through search.
Of course, the degree of advancement is difficult to determine and not all sites that we find will really be beneficial. But until we test these sites, we will never know if they work. Therefore, you need to try to fit on each one. Even if each site brings one order per month for free, then when there are dozens of such sites, in total they give a significant effect.
To find sites, the first thing you need to do is make a list of all the categories of products that you sell.
Add sites to your list. We repeat the procedure for the remaining requests.
As a result of the search, we will find not only trading portals, but also message boards, forums, etc. We will also consider this a platform, we just need to prepare separate proposals for them. Place, for example, several options for your most popular products. This is your homework, think about what to post on such sites. You can suggest your ideas in the comments, and we will suggest something based on them.
This way you will find all the sites where you should place your products. Since you found these sites based on your key queries, buyers will find them too. They will see your offers there.
Large sites will appear for most of your requests; it is advisable to post on them, but very carefully, especially if they are paid. You need to evaluate the profitability of placement and not buy into the slogans of sites when describing their tariffs. To learn how to assess the prospects of a paid platform, see our neighboring videos.
If necessary, you can search for sites based on other queries for which you would like to promote and for which people are looking for your product.
There is no point in searching for sites using queries like “shopping portal” or “bulletin board”. This way you will only find a few large sites and a lot of trash. There is no need to place it in trash cans. Therefore, it is better to look for sites exactly in the visibility zone of your potential clients using the key queries that they enter for purchase.
We hope that the basic idea of searching for sites by request has become clear to you after this video. To learn how to set up automatic export to trading platforms, see our neighboring videos.
This article will not talk about a specific business idea, but rather about an entire area of business - selling goods from China. What is remarkable about products from this country? First of all, at its price. Quality can vary, but you can often find very good items. But the price is invariably several times lower than ours, even if you buy in small wholesale or individually.
This opens up opportunities for starting your own business, practically from scratch. An entrepreneur must find a niche, that is, a group of products that he will sell, target buyers and a way to contact them, give them information about what product they will buy.
List of trading platforms
This is perhaps the most difficult thing.
An inexpensive way to test a niche is to advertise the product for sale before you order it. This will allow you to find out how many people will want to make a purchase, what the costs will be to attract one buyer, and the like. You should collect the data of all customers who contact you and contact them when the product becomes available to you.
How to find a product in China?
There are several exchange sites selling Chinese goods, where you can find almost anything. On some sites the minimum quantity is 1 piece. Delivery is often free, except for large and heavy items. It takes a long time, a month and a half.
The Alibaba.com and Aliexpress.com sites have a buyer protection system: you pay money not to the seller, but to the system, and only after you confirm receipt of the goods will the money be transferred to the supplier, so buying through these sites is safer.

- Test the niche with test advertising: if you find clients this way, move on to the next step. If not, look for a new niche.
- Place an order for a small batch. Learn to work with customs.

New on the forum
Tender sites are Internet portals where bidders, the customer and the supplier, interact with each other to obtain the most favorable conditions for the transaction and conclusion of the contract.
What are the types of ETPs?
There are federal and commercial ones. Today there are only 6 federal ones. Only they can carry out procurement in accordance with 44-FZ.
Tender sites
There are more than a hundred commercial services. All of them have paid access to participate in the auction. Commercial tenders for free without registration can be found on the official websites of companies that are purchased under 223-FZ, such as Rosneft, Gazprom or Lukoil.
Do not confuse an electronic trading platform and an information portal. In the first case, there is a full search for a supplier; in the second case, it is just a selection of tenders from various trading platforms. For example, when requesting “Commercial tenders Moscow and Moscow region,” 9 out of 10 results will direct you to search services and only one link will lead to a trading platform.
All federal platforms, in addition to sections for procedures under 44-FZ, have separate platforms for trading under 223-FZ. And the largest players, EETP and Sberbank-AST, offer individual sections of such corporations as the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, VTB Group, Russian Post, Rosatom State Corporation.
Universal commercial platforms for tenders
Here you can find customers from all over the Russian Federation purchasing goods and services in any profile:
Industry ETPs
They operate in specific industries or regions. The most popular:
- independent ETP for petroleum products (nge.ru);
- ETP Stroytorgi for construction industry companies throughout Russia (stroytorgi.ru);
- the Workspace portal, which helps organize tenders for services related to business development on the Internet (workspace.ru);
- Exchange "St. Petersburg" (spbex.ru).
ETP for small government procurement
For small purchases, large portals offer markets that operate like online stores:
- supplier portal “Supermarket B2B” (sverhmarket-b2b.ru);
- Corporate online store (KIM) (roseltorg.ru/kim);
- electronic store "RTS-MARKET" (zmo-mall.rts-tender.ru);
- catalog of goods and services B2B-Center (b2b-center.ru/catalog);
- OTS Market electronic store (otc.ru/market).
From January 1, 2019, all purchases will be carried out exclusively electronically. For this purpose, the functionality of electronic trading platforms will be used. According to the legislator, such a measure will avoid collusion between participants and customers, and will also simplify the procedures. Head of Government D.A. Medvedev signed Resolution No. 1447-r, establishing the final list of electronic trading platforms that are allowed to conduct public procurement.
The list of ETPs provided for the implementation of procedures for the acquisition of goods and services for the needs of the state includes:
- JSC "Unified Electronic Trading Platform".
- CJSC "Sberbank - Automated Trading System".
- JSC "Agency for State Order of the Republic of Tatarstan".
- JSC Electronic Trading Systems.
- LLC "RTS - Tender".
- JSC "TEK - Torg".
- JSC Russian Auction House.
- LLC "Electronic trading platform GPB"
To conduct closed trading procedures, the platform of CJSC “Automated System of Bidding for State Defense Orders” was chosen. It was founded in 2017 with the joint participation of Sberbank and Rostec Corporation.
Create an online store for free
At this ETP it is planned to conduct purchases related to the defense and security of the country.
In accordance with Government Decree No. 656 of June 8, 2018, the start of operation of the trading platform is the date of conclusion of the relevant agreement, which is signed by the Ministry of Finance of Russia and the Federal Antimonopoly Service. To conclude such an agreement, the ETP operator will have to make a security deposit in the amount of 50 million rubles to the account of the Ministry of Finance.
Before the start of operation of the sites listed in Government Decree No. 1447-, all public procurement is carried out at sites that have previously been selected. It is planned that all 8 ETPs will begin working with government customers from October 1, 2018, at the same time a new system for securing applications from special accounts and special accounts will be introduced.
Procurement by government customers within the framework of 44-FZ on other sites is not allowed. The same list of ETP will be used when implementing procurement procedures within the framework of 223-FZ.
On June 18, 2015, another large Chinese retailer entered the Russian market - the online store JD.com. This company is the second largest in terms of trading volume after Alibaba Group, which owns the famous AliExpress and Taobao. JD.com has launched a Russian-language website and is ready to fight for customers with sites that have been operating in the post-Soviet space for a long time.
We studied Asian online stores, read customer reviews about them and compiled the top best ones. The list is not ranked - it’s just a dozen sites with the best assortment, service and prices. If you want, arrange the sites in descending order in the comments.
AliExpress
This is the largest trading platform in China. A kind of wholesale and retail online hypermarket, where thousands of sellers and hundreds of thousands of products are collected. AliExpress is often compared to eBay: you can buy individually or in lots, you can buy outright or participate in an auction, and the conditions and quality depend on the specific seller. Only second-hand items are not sold on AliExpress.
AliExpress has a Russified version of the site (not to be confused with sellers’ product descriptions), where prices are displayed in rubles. Mobile applications have been released for more convenient and efficient shopping.
Another advantage is the ability to communicate directly with sellers and a buyer protection system. The money is released to the seller only when the buyer confirms receipt of the goods. Thanks to disputes, you can return what you spent or receive other compensation in case of defects or unfair trade.
There are many payment methods: from bank cards to electronic payment systems. Delivery is usually free. But it depends on the seller. AliExpress constantly hosts various sales and offers.
AliExpress is focused on the external market, and this is its main difference from another subsidiary of Alibaba Group - Taobao.com. Taobao has the same huge range: from paper clips to computers. But in order to register on the site, which, by the way, is entirely in Chinese, you need to have a working Chinese phone number. In addition, you can only pay for purchases with cards issued in China. In other words, to buy something on Tao, residents of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and other countries have to resort to the services of intermediaries. Fortunately, there are plenty of them: Mistertao.com, Kupinatao.com and so on.
Banggood
Accessories for gadgets, phones, household appliances, household goods, clothing, jewelry, bags, cosmetics - you name it in this multi-product online store. In total there are more than 30 thousand positions.
Banggood launched in 2004 and is headquartered in Guangzhou. The store has several warehouses in China, the USA and the UK.
Users note the adequacy of prices, as well as good service. That's it Vkontakte community", where you can get an answer to your question in Russian (the site is also translated). For those who find it more convenient to make purchases through a phone or tablet, there are apps on iOS and Android.
Bank cards, PayPal, Yandex.Money, QIWI or WebMoney are accepted for payment. Shipping is free by default, but you can choose EMS. The tracking number for parcels is relatively inexpensive - $1.7, and for orders over $25 it is issued free of charge.
BuyInCoins
“Buy for pennies” is the literal translation of the name of this online store. It's really cheap there. Especially considering free international shipping (only Africa, Italy and India were unlucky).
They sell accessories for computers and phones, goods for sports and home comfort, as well as cosmetics, jewelry and various beauty items. It’s not for nothing that girls love BuyInCoins.
The resource interface is adapted for Russian-speaking users. There are groups on social networks " In contact with" And " Classmates", through which it is convenient to track discounts and promotional codes.
Transactions for unregistered users are made through PayPal only. Once logged in, you can simply use cards or a QIWI wallet. Free shipping by China, Hong Kong or Malaysia Post. For those who want to receive the parcel quickly, EMS costs from $20. The tracking code costs $1.90, but if the order amount exceeds $30, then you do not need to pay extra.
Gearbest
An online store whose assortment is mainly electronics. Chinese phones, tablets, computer components, USB devices - there is plenty of this stuff there. But there were also clothes, accessories, cosmetics and household items.
The store has been operating since 2014. It has earned the respect of users thanks to its low prices and fast delivery.
Payments are accepted via bank cards and PayPal payment system. Regular delivery without a tracking code is free, but for speed and special care of the parcel you will have to pay a little extra.
DealExtreme - DX
This popular online store was called DealExtreme.com until 2012. But after a redesign and other internal changes, it received a shorter and more sonorous name - DX.com.
The site presents various categories: “Clothing”, “Beauty”, “Home”, “Hobbies” and so on. But among Russian-speaking users, DX.com has an unspoken reputation as a store for gadgets and electronics. There really are a lot of them. Moreover, you can buy both ordinary Chinese trinkets and some branded items.
On the site you can turn on the Russian language and switch the currency to rubles. Payment by Visa and MasterCard, as well as via PayPal and WebMoney. Delivery by China Post is free, EMS - from $15 (express delivery can be selected only if the order amount exceeds $30). A tracking code is provided free of charge if you purchase $15 or more.
As elsewhere, there are discounts, promotional codes and an affiliate program.
DinoDirect
Chinese online store with free shipping worldwide and a funny dinosaur on the logo. Buyers note the high quality of the goods. In addition, sellers never forget to include small gifts, samples, discount coupons and other goodies in the package. But the pricing policy also differs from other sites to a large extent. Also worth noting is the English-speaking, but responsive and competent support, working 24/7.
The resource is practically not adapted for Russian-speaking users: minimal translation using Google and display of prices in rubles.
But the assortment is simply huge: about two million products, from devices to wedding dresses. There are products from both Chinese manufacturers and goods from world brands (Lenovo, Toshiba, Dell and others).
DinoDirect has its own buyers club. Regular customers are awarded bonus points, discounts on express delivery and goods for testing, and also given various gifts. In addition, the site regularly holds sales.
FocalPrice
More than 70 thousand items of goods, almost 100 different categories, seven years of experience - all this is the FocalPrice online store. In the Russian-language version of the site, the assortment seems to be more modest than on other sites (oh my God, there are no clothes or cosmetics there!). But the prices are pleasantly surprising. There is even a “Everything for $2” section. There are a lot of trinkets that you want to add to your cart by the bucketful.
By the way, about the Russian version. Unlike many competitors, FocalPrice translates everything, right down to the product description. And not bad, almost without errors.
Payment by bank cards, as well as via PayPal and WebMoney. Shipping is either free via China Post or EMS. In this case, delivery to intermediary addresses and splitting the order into several parcels is possible.
You can get a discount by using a promotional code or joining an affiliate program.
