AuctionSniper, an Auctiva product, "announces 'partnership'" with 11Main, owned by Auctiva parent, Alibaba.

History[edit]2011: Auctiva was purchased by the Chinese giant Alibaba.2014: Auctiva is participating in the development of a new e-Commerce platform with Alibaba called 11main.com .

Maybe they will innovate, in an ethnocentric way, ecommerce, post-flash sale, post-auction, similar to Qbid, with low overhead, since they're basically facilitating an online shopping page for all these factories, drop shipping product.  The difference is whether or not it will be like Storenvy, Etsy, Fab, or like Qbid, Half.com, GoogleShopping (pre-Express).

a cross-portfolio promotion that reminds me of Marc Ecko brands via Complex...
