Powered by Pay with Amazon, seller websites listed on Junglee can take advantage of the following benefits:
Pricing details are mentioned category wise on the Junglee site.
Speaking on the service, Mahendra Narurkar, General Manager-Junglee.com, said that Amazon had launched a pilot program two months back to understand if the conversion into a marketplace would work out. He said, “The pilot has been successful and we are seeing a strong traction on Junglee. People come here to compare prices and go to another site to make the transaction. Now, we facilitate the same on Junglee itself, which becomes more convenient for consumers.”
“The paid sites are increasing by day. We have over 4,000 products on our sites at present. We have also launched a mobile application and revamped the website to create a single place for both sellers and consumers to search, compare, review, buy and sell the products,” Nerurkar added.
Junglee attracts 15 million visits every month and has over 30 million listings across 25 categories, from over 1,700 online shopping sites and 60,000 nearby stores.
Experts feel that by making Junglee into a marketplace in addition to a comparison site, Amazon will now have an edge over its rivals. Junglee already has about 100,000 offline sellers and more than 2,000 sites that are registered.
As listings were not charged earlier, it did not add any value per se to Amazon earlier as it shared the same data with Amazon and other sellers.
Interestingly, Flipkart, Myntra and Snapdeal don’t have listings on Junglee. So is this Amazon’s way of answering to the Flipkart-Myntra tie-up or Snapdeal’s increasing list of product category introductions?
