Good waiting for launch.
Why are you people so much hyped for alibaba. They sale Chinese products, don’t they? That means no branded electronis but only copycats . Correct me if I’m wrong.
Ur type of people are the reason why Pakistan is lacking behind… Not happy in any situation!!
Yooo
Mehfil Loot Li
Full Bisti with Exact Reason
Nailed it :p
Congratulations lol
HEHEHEHEHE :p
It’s not a matter of feeling happy or unhappy. Just wanted to get some opinions in this regard.
Man you should learn to accept change and that too in case of our country.. U were like ” Ohh! So why r u all so hyped about it.. What’s the big deal??”
It’s a very big step bruv. And u … Ughh!
Copies are something else. They also have their own brands.
PS: Another reason is that they have sort of a check and balance system. Feedback section etc.
And vendors have rating so you know from whom to buy.
right brother there are tons of items that they sale not just electronics but also tons of sorts goods
You don’t understand the actual excitement of this Post, Ali Baba will actually launch digital payment system for online shopping. As you know paypal is not available in pakistan. So when digital payment system will come here, whole Online industry will grow, you can buy by paying online for all companies, Chinese, branded, etc
There are two types of Chinese products:
1. Really Bad – Na Chly to Sham Tak, Chly to Chand Tak.
2. Really High Quality Products that can compete with the world class products.
Very True
agreed
Alibabaaaa chalisss chooorrrr
????
Great Achievement
Don’t be so happy. Only Daraz name change to Ali baba. All will be same.
Daraz is also owned by Chinese.
That means increase in outward remittances payments from Pakistan. More Pakistani money will flow out of the country. Further, increase dependency on Chinese products/foreign goods and local manufactured products will lose market share.
Good news. When they come, Paypal will have to come. Not on our request by by itself :)
impossible paypal in pakistan
