Why Jumei’s Business Model is Broken. Selling Authentic Makeup Is Costly - Asia Stocks to Watch - Barrons.com  

"Investors are worried that as an online discounter, Jumei can’t control its sourcing and inevitably sells counterfeit products. About 30% of Jumei’s GMV came from third-party merchants last year and most of Jumei’s tier-one brands such as Estee Lauder, Lancome and Clinique were sold by these third-party merchants who relied on parallel importing to make money. By not controlling the sourcing directly, Jumei runs the risk of selling fake products on its site."
