Alibaba Wholesale AliExpress sets to go

From today onwards, Alibaba users will notice that Alibaba International website will be acting in parallel with AliExpress, a  new wholesale trading site owned by Alibaba.com (HKSE1688).  An eye-catching “tab” on its homepage becomes a shortcut key to AliExpress .

Imagine that the shortcut key was designed as a tab,  it gives Aliuser an illusion that its part of the search bar, enables us to search products within AliExpress, like the rest of tabs on the same row. ..

A couple of questions explode like firework in Aliuser’s mind… Should it be tab-like design?  Does it give us what we expect when we click on the supposed-to-be button?  A good practice for usability?  

AliExpress, which was accessible to a limited number of chosen users in the last two months,  is officially open. 

Still on beta,  AliExpress will tactically be focused more on small-and- medium-quantity buyers while Alibaba International website remains to be the prime sourcing site for big buyers who place large orders.

To roll out along with the wholesale trading site is its help channel, which offers some suggestions to save your sourcing efforts.
