Alibaba Group's new B2C platform "Taobao Mall" is ready for shopping now. Its URL is http://mall.taobao.com/

When we click the old B2C channel link on Taobao's front page, it still links us to the old B2C platform. I am wondering whether Taobao will close the old B2C platform and link clicks to the old URL to the new platform after the company announces the official launch of Taobao Mall, which is rumored to be this Thursday.

Though there are reports that Taobao Mall has not completed its initial seller recruitment yet, we can find many familiar brands on the platform already.

Here is the new Logo and a screenshot of the brands listed on the homepage:
