Abstract: This paper analyses the imbalance between e-commerce and logistics service by using factor sub-game perfect Nash equilibrium as an analytical tool and links up the bargaining process between sellers and express enterprise during online shopping with discount factor. The change of benefits between sellers and express enterprise during holidays is analysed based on the effect of discount factor on the equilibrium solution through the application of model. Finally, it is concluded that discount factor is a key factor influencing the express fee between sells and express enterprise, and some recommendations are put forward accordingly.
