eBay指控亞馬遜非法挖角平臺商戶

EBay has accused Amazon of using an "unlawful" scheme to tempt sellers on its auction site to move to the online retailer.

近日，eBay指控亞馬遜使用非法手段，引誘賣家從拍賣網(wǎng)站eBay轉(zhuǎn)移到在線零售商亞馬遜。

In a cease and desist letter, the auction site alleged that Amazon had used its internal messaging system to repeatedly contact traders.

該一封禁止通知函中，該拍賣網(wǎng)站稱亞馬遜曾利用其內(nèi)部信息系統(tǒng)多次聯(lián)系商家。

EBay warned that it would take "appropriate steps" to protect itself from the tactic.

eBay警告稱，將會采取“適當措施”來保護自己不受這種策略的影響。

Amazon said it had started a "thorough investigation" of eBay's claims.

亞馬遜方面表示，已經(jīng)就eBay的該指控進行了徹查。

Details of Amazon's alleged activities emerged in a report published in the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday.

有關(guān)指控亞馬遜行為的細節(jié)出現(xiàn)在了本周三《華爾街日報》發(fā)布的一則報道上。

In that story, eBay said it found out in late September that Amazon staff were contacting sellers on the auction site via its messaging system.

在該報道中，eBay稱其在九月底發(fā)現(xiàn)了亞馬遜的員工通過信息系統(tǒng)聯(lián)系該拍賣網(wǎng)站上的賣家。

Its investigation revealed that about 50 Amazon employees had sent more than 1,000 messages to traders, suggesting that they abandon eBay and instead sell via the retailer.

調(diào)查表明，大約有50名亞馬遜員工向賣家發(fā)送了超過1000條信息，建議他們放棄eBay，轉(zhuǎn)而通過該零售商(亞馬遜)進行銷售。
