The promise to competitors represents Wal-Mart's willingness to pick up the gloves and resume its price battle with Amazon.com or any other online retailer.

Vasquez said a few weeks ago, "If there is going to be a Wal-Mart on the Web, its going to be Walmart.com."

The Post added that even though Amazon.com currently holds the title with its $19.5 billion online business, Walmart.com seems to be catching up quick, growing at a faster rate this year by about 1.4%.
