Law/Patents - Law (general)
Chinese term or phrase: 商品经营者
This is in a legal text governing internet commerce in the PRC, the 国家工商总局发布《网络商品交易及有关服务行为管理暂行办法: "commodity operators" appears in an English reference to the document in an official site in Hong Kong, but this sounds very odd in U.S. English.
A version of the document appears at:
http://www.law-lib.com/fzdt/newshtml/20/20100122120741.htm

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dealer (reseller) or distributor (depending on scale)


Explanation:
Google dictionary and other online sources calls this "product operator" or "commodity operator" and even one that called it "product gardener". I get the feeling that this is talking about either a dealer (or reseller) or a distributor depending on scale. There's no "definition" in that document so its hard to tell.
