Taobao creates new job specifications

Taobao, the customer-to-customer online shopping bazaar founded by former English teacher Jack Ma, marks its 10th anniversary in May 2013. It recorded 1 trillion yuan ($1,618 billion) in transaction in 2012.

With its success, a substantial number of new, multifarious or even bizarre jobs have also been created in the virtual world in the past decade.

In April, Alibaba Group, the owner and operator of Taobao and its business-to-customer counterpart, Tmall, released a report about the nearly 200,000 so-called "e-commerce service providers" that have supported and relied on the business.
