Wal-Mart To Sell Goods From Other Vendors
Wal-Mart Stores has launched an addition to its online business that has outside retailers selling nearly 1 million new items through Walmart.com, a move that could help the world’s largest retailer catch up in the online world.
The Walmart Marketplace has products from categories that include home, baby, toys, apparel, sporting goods and sports memorabilia. The company said it picked the retailers — including eBags, CSN Stores and Pro Team — because they have large product assortments and solid customer service track records.
Retail consultant Burt Flickinger III said Wal-mart can use online sales an area for growth, especially considering how the company’s stores have saturated much of the U.S. market. He said Wal-Mart can also draw online customers from the European continent and South Korea, where it no longer has stores.

I think that is a sharp move on their end and just about time!, Walmart will definitely dominate both the online and the real world by expanding their field to allow other retailers to sell on their website. It is a Big Win-Win Solution.

It really limits Walmarts potential in online growth. Most people want to buy from WALMART ….NOT unheard of second rate fulfillers… Most everyone has heard of Walmart… Nobody has heard of CSNSTORES… Walmart is losing Billions!! As people find out Walmart.com isn’t really… walmart.com, they look elsewhere.
