It\u2019s easy<\/em> to sell on Amazon because they\u2019ve been around so long and you know what you\u2019re getting into (both good and bad). But taking a chance on new players to the ecommerce game<\/a>, can sometimes have unexpected payoffs. RepricerExpress<\/a> is here to explore whether Jet.com is one of those marketplaces that can potentially change the selling landscape the way Amazon, eBay and Alibaba have.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Getting to Know Jet.com<\/h2>\n

In the last 10 years or so, we\u2019ve seen the rise of \u2018super stores\u2019 like Costco and Walmart, shops that purport to offer bigger selections and higher savings. And then the rise of online giants like Amazon and eBay further chopped prices by bringing everything online and vastly reducing overhead.<\/p>\n

Enter Jet.com, the newest player on the scene that hopes to usurp some of the power Amazon\u2019s earned. It\u2019s founded by Marc Lore \u2014 you may remember him<\/a> from such ventures as Quidsi and the Topps Company. When he started up Jet.com, his aim was to offer retail items at, or below, the cost you\u2019d find at Walmart and Amazon.<\/p>\n

And up until recently, there was a $50\/year membership fee which has since been disbanded.<\/p>\n

One key difference between Amazon and Jet.com is the former has its own retail supply channels, while the latter gets its items from third-party vendors (although Amazon also sometimes dips into third-party suppliers, too).<\/p>\n

Does it Make Sense to Sell (or Buy) on Jet.com?<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s focus first on buying on Jet.com. The upside, like we briefly mentioned before, is that you can find a great deal of items on the site at the same price, or less, than you would at Walmart or Amazon. And the site has grown considerably<\/em> since its inception, surging to a million customers after just its first three months of existence and registering a $500 million funding round. These are fairly positive signs that Jet.com has made serious inroads into the marketplace world, with good and (so far) proven intentions of being attractive enough to cater to customers\u2019 needs.<\/p>\n

And as for selling? Jet.com, at first blush, appears to have done a decent job on that, too. To sell there, you need to meet the following requirements:<\/p>\n
