Come to think of it kahit di mo nilagay "olx" if you Google any object nasa top results pa din sya. In which case it gets annoying hehe.

I wonder if Amazon will ever put up shop here.

Yes. From what I heard either 2020 or 2021. Mag open Amazon partner yata siya kay SM, Kaya nagbibili na ng mga logistic companies SM. Tapos mga ibang big conglomerate bumibili na rin ng logistic company.

Same pa din ba owner nyan nung Sulit.com pa sya? Mukhang nag cash in na lang sya. Di na nag improve yung olx.

yes they can improve it

olx ph is evolving

hindi ba OLX is foreign owned?

they have presence in other countries

the guy who sold sulit to olx made a tidy sum

kaya madami nagsulputan mga sulit-clones

they're all hoping somebody would buy them

i dunno shopee but isnt Lazada the closest thing we have to amazon?

cant compare olx to amazon or lazada types

olx kasi you're talking to independent sellers na may kanya kanyang sistema

varying ways to transact

meron meet up, cash payment

meron bank deposit, item to be delivered to buyer

meron pick up at store, cash payment

ung lazada types kasi centralized

the items belong to many vendors but payment goes to lazada

then lazada pays the vendors

that's their business model

Yup. Lazada is like the local Amazon [emoji14]

Shopee is same with OLX. Most beauty sellers ang account shopee, IG and FB. Wala ng may olx [emoji14]

Foreign owned pala. With their capital you would think they would spend more on search hehe. Pansin ko parang secondary markets lang sila.
