What is alibaba.com? Im just not getting it? -

Been to the site, but still trying to figure out if it s a glorified Ebay, as in people from all over just selling and buying. Their ad says,...buy it, make it, sell it. Make what?

It s a business-2-business service. It puts manufacturers in touch with suppliers in touch with shipping companies etc.So if you re in business and looking for a supplier for something, for example, you d go to Ali Baba. And if you were a manufacturer looking for distributors, you d go to Ali Baba.
