Sohu.com (SOHU) says that it will cease selling consumer products to its users through its e-commerce platform at store.sohu.com on June 20, 2006.

Sohu previously sold consumer products, such as books, health care products, videos, music and computer equipment, and provided delivery services for such products through its e-commerce platform.

Following the cessation of this business on June 20, Sohu expects to continue offering its users the ability to purchase such products from a third party vendor by displaying click-through advertisements to such vendor's e-commerce website on Sohu's websites. However Sohu has not announced which third party vendors will be used.
