SMilDS.com: The Newest Online Mall To Hit Asia
What's the scoop on the latest online shopping mall to hit Asia's interweb? SMilDS.com is a brand new online store that aims to go up against e-commerce giant Amazon.com. As a hub that boasts the efficiency of going to a shopping mall, it connects hundreds of online stores and features easy payment gateways (Credit Card, G-Cash, Smart Money, etc.) within easy reach.
If you frequent multiply sellers, ebay, and the variety of small online stores out there, you'll be happy to know that patronizing this site will allow you to hit all the stores you love at the same time. I'm particularly pleased with SMilDS because it exposes products to all sorts of customers and searching for the items you need is as easy as pie.
Furthermore, sellers purchase their online space and the use of SMilDS' payment gateway and services, so you won't get random, bogus sellers like on Ebay. SMilDS' holds your money and won't release the funds until the product is delivered to you, which makes for worry-free shopping! Make no mistake, these are serious entrepreneurs who are willing to put their money where their mouths are, and it's this professionalism that makes SMilDS well on its way to being of Amazon caliber.
To become a SMilDS seller, on the other hand, you must choose from one of their 3 packages (ranging from 25k to around 600k per year). Your package level dictates how many products you can put up at a time, and the level of customization you can do, so small to medium business owners can easily avail of their basic package.
I envision the various Multiply and Ebay sellers moving to this platform, simply because it will allow for easier searching of their products, access to a worldwide audience, and easier shipping. SMilDS has partnered with some various professional couriers (Xend, DHL, etc.) and these partners will pick up from your home and deliver your products directly to your clients. No more running to the local post office whilst loaded down with packages-- SMilDS makes everything so much simpler.
If you're a certified shopaholic and interested in checking out what SMilDS has to offer-- head on down to their site and start shopping! If you're an entrepreneur looking to check out the various SMilDS packages, give them a ring at +632-886 6190 or contact them via their comment form here.

Ecommerce in the Philippines is still young so there's plenty of room for Smilds and other selling platforms. But the payment of 25k might hinder other small-time entrepreneurs (like me) to try it out. Newbie sellers would then resort to free sites like ebay... But then, it's too early to tell.
Badet- Yes, I totally understand. I guess big stores like Lucky Doll Store would benefit from this, but perhaps not the smaller ones...
hmmm... you know a lot of new things non? haha. may mga damit ba jan? hehe
toxic- Haha yeah, I'm press release girl this week. XD So far, the items they offer are still limited. There's one seller with some interesting pieces, but no high fashion or interesting pieces yet!
