CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - U.S. e-commerce giant Amazon.com opened on Thursday a walk-in centre in South Africa that it says will help its independent sellers attract more customers and expand their businesses, while it also seeks to gain market share.
For Amazon - which is striving to catch up with market-leader Takealot, owned by Naspers - the centre can increase its product range, increasing potential revenue.
