Costco, Target and Walmart all have their own online presence. Your entire argument makes no sense.

  They were obviously just using an analogy with real names to say Amazon does not have a similar-size competitor or three.

    Walmart is a similar sized competitor, though. Depending on how you break it down, eBay is as well. The analogy makes no sense. Walmart is a competitor, Aliexpress, Flipkart, etc.

      What percentage of online revenue does Walmart make? How much does Amazon make?
      • endisneigh 5y ago
        7% vs 40%. Definitely a huge difference, but the majority of commerce in the USA is non-Amazon. If you do worldwide it's way worse. in no way is it a "monopoly." If you look at growth rates Amazon is slowing and others are gaining not to mention the comparison is foolish to begin with as Amazon doesn't have physical locations. a better comparison is total amount of sales, in which Amazon isn't even the plurality.

          You're moving the goalposts. I only meant to highlight that Amazon has no real equal online and that is it. I'm not talking about physical stores and I'm not saying they're a monopoly.

            No, I’m not. I already showed you that Amazon isn’t the majority in the USA. Prior to Covid, when everything was shut down, Amazon was only like 20ish percent.
