Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba has opened its doors to US sellers on its oldest platform, Alibaba.com.
It now offers tools to allow US firms to sell on the business-to-business platform in the US and globally.
The move will allow Alibaba, traditionally China-focused, to compete with global e-commerce giants like Amazon.
Alibaba.com says it has 10 million active business buyers in more than 190 countries and regions.
