The mainstream C2C cross-border e-commerce platforms include Yangmatou and Haimi.
(1) Yangmatou
Yomao was established in 2009 and is a Chinese overseas shopping platform that meets the needs of Chinese buyers to purchase global products without leaving the country. The Yangmatou mobile app has the first “shopping live broadcast” channel, which is mainly based on the C2C model and has gathered tens of thousands of overseas certified individual sellers. These individual sellers are distributed in more than 20 countries and regions around the world, including the United States, Europe, Australia, Japan, and South Korea. They live broadcast shopping and experience simultaneous discounts. Yangmatou has crossed all the intermediate links, lowered the entry threshold of the Chinese market, and allowed buyers to experience real overseas live shopping.
① Basic requirements for Yangmatou
Individual sellers who want to settle in the Yangmatou platform need to pass strict qualification certification and review and provide multiple certification materials such as overseas long-term residence, overseas identity, overseas credit, and overseas business qualifications.

The platform is mainly used to solve the docking transaction problems between domestic buyers and foreign professional buyers, eliminate the language, tariffs, logistics and other obstacles that domestic overseas shoppers often encounter in the process of overseas shopping, and improve the convenience, timeliness and professionalism of overseas shopping.
