According
to the TASS news agency, in a few days a service to pay for purchases from a mobile phone account will be launched in Russia. AliExpress is part of the Chinese company Alibaba Group. The Director of Development for AliExpress in Russia and the CIS is Mark Zavadsky.
Not all e-commerce services that offer physical goods, allow you to make payments through a mobile phone. “We are in a sense a pioneer in this field in Russia,” Zavadsky said.
Mark Zavadsky is a former correspondent for RIA Novosti and Expert magazine. He is also the founder of Asia To Go Limited, a public relations agency. In the fall of 2014, Mark was
appointed Director of Business Development for AliExpress in Russia and the CIS instead of Denis Makkaveev, who became involved in one of the new projects of the Alibaba Group.

The share of Alibaba Group in the Chinese e-commerce market exceeds 80%. In 2013, the turnover of the company's online stores reached $ 248 billion.
In Russia, AliExpress will be launched in conjunction with the Chinese electronic payment system Alipay, as well as in partnership with the Russian payment system Rapida and the group of companies Soyuztelecom.
In the next few days, the service will be available to subscribers of MTS, Megafon, Beeline and Tele2. The commission that operators will receive from each purchase will be 1-3%.
In mid-2014, the number of active AliExpress users in Russia exceeded 4 million.
