Chinese online marketplace for wholesale products DHgate has reportedly removed PayPal as a payment option from both its online portal and its mobile site, media outlet ecommercebytes.com reports quoting TechInAsia.com.
The partnership between DHgate and PayPal had been announced in April 2011. The two companies had joined forces to provide DHgate customers access to PayPal’s mobile payments product, dubbed the Mobile Express Checkout. Under the terms of the deal, DHgate's mobile shopping website had integrated PayPal's Mobile Express Checkout service to enable more than 94 million active PayPal users in 190 markets to purchase over 3 million Chinese wholesale products across 4,000 categories via their smartphones and mobile devices.
