THE e-commerce game is strong in Singapore. Homegrown platforms ezbuy (known formerly as 65daigou and which provides Taobao shopping services) and iFashion (a new roll-up play which targets online fashion sites) have raised US$20 million and S$1 million respectively in venture capital, amid a competitive landscape.

On Wednesday, ezbuy - an aggregator shopping site that connects Singapore customers directly to overseas online merchants from Taobao (China), the US and Taiwan - announced its Series B round led by Vision Knight Capital and joined by existing investors IDG Ventures and CGC Capital.
