Satisfied? Write “good” or “bad” reviews in Chinese

E-commerce refers to the process of buying or selling products or services over the Internet. Online shopping platforms are slowly taking over from traditional shopping, in which buyers go to the market and pay for things with cash. (Must Known Chinese words for online shopping) In China, E-Commerce has been gaining in popularity and websites such as Taobao, Alibaba and JD.com are becoming a part of the daily lives of Chinese shoppers who don’t have time to go to the market.
How buyers can give sellers ratings is an important part of these websites. Just as a customer can leave a “好评 (hǎopíng) positive review” or “差评 (chàpíng) negative review ” on Yelp, TripAdvisor, etc., customers can leave opinionated reviews on JD.com, Amazon.com or other E-Commerce shopping websites.
