NetEase launched the Kaola.com platform in 2015 which is the platform through which sales are made for products such as popular PC-client and mobile games, advertising services, e-mail services and e-commerce platforms.

from iiMedia Research attained a 24% market share in the first half of 2017 (exceeding Alibaba Tmall Global’s 20%).
All sales will be made by Golden Koala selling directly to buyers through the platform with Kaola.com deducting selling fees. The fees will vary between the different Golden Koala products and will depend on the volume of each product sold.
NetEase Kaola CEO Lily Lei Zhang has said that "As Chinese consumers become increasingly sophisticated, their focus has shifted from pricing concerns to a search for high-quality and reliable brands,” and describes Kaola.com customers as “largely well-educated young women living in China's major cities,” seeking health and quality of life. NetEase Kaola’s CEO has said that the company expects to buy about US$11 billion of inventory from the general market over the next three years.

We look forward to working closely with Netease Kaola to deliver Golden Koala products to Chinese consumers as soon as possible.”
