SAN FRANCISCO/SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Amazon.com Inc on Thursday said it is notifying sellers that it will no longer operate a marketplace nor provide seller services on its Chinese website, Amazon.cn, from July 18.

"We are working closely with our sellers to ensure a smooth transition and to continue to deliver the best customer experience possible," a spokeswoman told Reuters in a statement.

"Sellers interested in continuing to sell on Amazon outside of China are able to do so through Amazon Global Selling."
