US online retail giant Amazon has set up shop on the business-to-consumer platform of Alibaba as it seeks a greater presence in the massive Chinese market.

The Seattle-based firm is offering food Glen Perkins Jersey , women's footwear, toys and kitchenware through its store on Tmall which was "quietly" launched on Thursday, Chinese media reported. Amazon's storefront carries the message: "It's Day 1."

Amazon and Alibaba are considered competitors in some areas but unlike the US firm the Chinese company has no product stocks of its own Ervin Santana Jersey , simply providing a trading platform.

"We welcome Amazon to the Alibaba ecosystem and their presence will further broaden the selection of products and elevate the shopping experience for Chinese consumers on Tmall," an Alibaba spokeswoman said in a statement provided to AFP Friday.

Tmall is estimated to hold more than half the market in China for business-to-consumer transactions.

Amazon is not new to China. It opened an official store on Tmall for its Kindle e-book reader last year.

The firm made its first foray into China in August 2004 through the acquisition of Joyo, an online retailer of books Drew Stubbs Jersey , music and videos. The website was re-branded as Amazon in 2011.

"China's e-commerce industry is fast-growing and nobody wants to miss it," Yang Xiao of e-commerce services provider HC International told AFP. "Amazon wants to add an additional distribution channel in China."

He said the move could be aimed more at China's JD, which has a similar business model to Amazon and also competes with Alibaba.

"It's simple game logic -- an enemy's enemy is a friend Danny Santana Jersey ," Yang said. "Amazon is more likely targeting JD and it's a win-win situation for Tmall."

Amazon is initially selling nearly 500 items, with more expected to be made available later.

As of Friday morning, the top sellers on the Amazon store included a 220-yuan ($36) German drinks container Byung-Ho Park Jersey , and canned almonds imported from the US with a price tag of 44 yuan ($7).

The availability of so many birth control methods can seem puzzling. It can be overwhelming to select out of contraceptive pills, patches, vaginal rings Byron Buxton Jersey , intrauterine devices and condoms. It is better to make an informed choice after having a discussion with a doctor or medical professional. This article offers a brief discussion on some popular forms of contraception so that you can make a better choice that suits your lifestyle.

Contraceptive Patch

The contraceptive patch is a skin patch that is a perfect alternative to contraceptive pill in order to prevent pregnancy. You do not have to take it daily, unlike contraceptive pills. You need to replace a patch after every seven days and it remains attached to your skin whether you bathe or exercise. This patch contains an amalgamation of artificial oestrogen and progestogen hormone.

Apart from preventing pregnancy Brian Dozier Jersey , it can significantly reduce the heavy bleeding and pain that you may experience during your period.

Oral contraceptive
