Nienażarty smok
Zapewne wiele razy kupowałeś coś z Chin. Super fajna oferta, konkurencyjna cena oraz darmowa dostawa. Nie wnikasz w szczegóły, klikasz, płacisz i zamawiasz. Uff. Oszczędziłeś tyle kasy!
Po jakimś czasie dostajesz od sprzedawcy informacje łamanym angielskim, który uprzedza, że paczka oznaczona będzie jako "gift". Zgadzasz się.
Czekasz kilka tygodni (i prawie zapominasz o swoim zakupie) gdy nagle puka listonosz i okazuje się, że możesz cieszyć się swoją przesyłką z Chin.
Gratuluję. Właśnie oszukałeś polskie państwo na podatkach (w tym VAT) oraz spowodowałeś, że zbankrutuje któryś polski sprzedawca.
"Ale facet przesadza!" zapewne pomyślisz. Otóż nie.
Zakupy na chińskich portalach rosną lawinowo właśnie z powodu niskich cen spowodowanych brakiem kontroli polskich służb oraz masowych oszust związanych z zaniżaniem
Żeby to zobrazować dam ci przykład. Chcesz sprzedawać hulajnogę. Tak się składa, że jest to produkt wytworzony w Chinach. Twoja cena (z podatkami, cłem i VATem) to 1500 złotych.
Ten sam produkt sprowadzony z któregoś z chińskich portali kosztuje 1000 złotych. Z dostawą pod twoje drzwi. Zgadnij jakiego sprzedawcę wybierze polski klient?
"No ale tak działa wolny rynek! To jest kapitalizm!" powiesz.
Tak, masz rację. Tylko, że w tym wypadku nie mamy do czynienia z uczciwą konkurencją a oszukiwanie polskich organów (cło i VAT) oraz tworzeniem problemów dla polskiego klienta (brak gwarancji, problemy ze zwrotem itd).
O jakiej skali problemu mówimy? Z danych Gemiusa wynika, że z zagranicznych serwisów e-commerce korzysta już w Polsce 23 proc. internautów. Dwa lata temu z takich zakupów korzystało zaledwie 10% badanych internautów.
Obecnie w naszym kraju nie jest możliwe uczciwe konkurowanie z takim przeciwnikiem. Chińscy sprzedawcy wykańczają polski e-commerce w ekspresowym tempie.
Problem nareszcie dostrzegł rząd i zamierza przykręcić kurek z "tanimi" zakupami z Chin.
To bardzo dobra wiadomość dla polskiego e-commerce i jego klientów.
Naprawdę, wszyscy na tym skorzystamy.

Emil, a new startup from the founders of Movinga, has launched what it claims is Germany’s first pay-per-mile car insurance that measures miles in real-time.

New media hiring slowdown: Openings at Vox, Buzzfeed, and Vice at lowest levels | Thinknum Media — media.thinknum.com
There was a time — a time not too long ago — when new media standouts Vice Media ($VICEMEDIA), Buzzfeed ($BUZZFEED), and Vox Media ($VOXMEDIA) were all in a rapid state of growth. It was an exciting time: they were all launching new properties, poaching talent from media stalwarts, and boasting huge revenue outlooks. And one thing was consistent across all three properties: they were hiring a lot of people.
