What Do They Do?

Runs an online marketplace where consumers and merchants buy and sell goods, and offers digital payments and financial services to consumers and merchants.

How Do They Make Money?

Most revenue comes from services and financial income: sellers pay marketplace fees when transactions are completed, while payments, advertising, lending and memberships generate fees, interest or subscription income. Product sales bring in money when goods are delivered.
