Walmart Opens E-Commerce Marketplace to Non-US Vendors | Transport Topics
This month, the world's largest retailer began opening up its third-party marketplace to foreign sellers, who no longer need a U.S. address or business tax identification. The vendors still will be carefully vetted, both locally and by Walmart's global trust and safety team, to prevent the listing of unsavory items. The new sellers will make up just a fraction of Walmart's total seller population, which is mainly based in the U.S.

Walmart is looking to expand its marketplace, where suppliers can offer their products via the company's website, and the services that branch off of it, like fulfillment and advertising.

Walmart Lets Int'l Merchants On Its Marketplace | PYMNTS.com
Walmart started to open its third-party marketplace to merchants outside of the United States in March. Those merchants don't need a domestic address or business tax identification anymore. However, the merchants will continue to be vetted by the retailer's global trust and safety workforce and locally, according to the report.
"We have strong relationships with many reputable companies around the world and we have some of the most rigorous seller requirements in the industry," Walmart said in a statement, as per the report. "As a result, we are opening our U.S. marketplace to a limited number of international companies who share our commitment to customer trust and safety."

And what it seems to be is that people are borrowing in order to, you know, pay for their medications, to meet the basic necessities. So that is disturbing.
