The bubble has burst for several local e-commerce retailers: ironically in the same week thousands attended the Online Retailer conference in Sydney.

In this week’s subscriber-only edition of Inside Retail Weekly, we have leaks on two local pure plays’ in trouble, as well as an interview with another pure play, StyleTread, about its battle with Westfield.
