It's interesting to note that Amazon third-party seller unit share is at 48% of total units shipped, which is a record high. It has grown by 1% per quarter for the last 4 quarters in a row.
- abhi3 10y agoDoes this share included international sales? If so it could have something to do with Amazon growing in India where it has to route all sales through a third party. http://www.livemint.com/Companies/RjEDJkA3QyBSTsMDdaXbCN/Amazons-JV-Cloudtail-is-its-biggest-seller-in-India.html http://www.livemint.com/Companies/RjEDJkA3QyBSTsMDdaXbCN/Ama...
- draw_down 10y agoI don't really like how they sell things from third parties on there. If it's sold by someone else and fulfilled by Amazon that's ok, but otherwise the whole point of buying on Amazon is to not have to deal with weirdo possibly-shady little retailers.
- hga 10y agoAmazon is selling trust there; in my experience, if the seller has a 96% or better rating you'll seldom be disappointed when it arrives, and they'll work hard to give you satisfaction if you aren't. Much better than eBay in my family's experience.
- tracker1 10y agoIf you have Prime, and click on that as a filter, that gives you fulfilled by amazon results... A lot of times I'll go another step and choose Amazon.com as the seller.
- cosmoharrigan 10y agoAmazon is pushing very hard to increase Fulfillment by Amazon coverage across the catalog, and is also releasing new products such as Seller-Fulfilled Prime. The customer experience is tightly controlled in both cases.
