JD.com, China’s e-commerce behemoth, said on Sunday that sales for Singles’ Day – and its run-up – reached 127.1 billion yuan ($19.14 billion), up 50 percent from a year ago.
Sales included 11 days of transactions, JD said in a statement, unlike its rival Alibaba, which reported on Saturday that its one-day sales reached 168.3 billion yuan ($25.35 billion), up 39 percent from last year.
