This also ignores reality; the top 500 retailers account for around 75% of the market, the rest make up a really long tail. After the top 1000 or so you're looking at retailers who make around $12,000 in revenue a month. Optimistically you're looking at $6MM a year vs. $240MM. I'd also worry that this data is more valuable if all your competitors don't have it. If you look at the Amazon Marketplace it's commonly a race to the bottom.

> fter the top 1000 or so you're looking at retailers who make around $12,000 in revenue a month. From our experience as a CSE, these numbers are way off. There's a lot more than 1000 retailers making a lot more than $12,000 per month, even in smaller markets than the US where not the top 500, but the top 20 or so account for 75% of the (e-commmerce) market. There's a huge number of (more than $12,000/month revenue) brick & mortar stores out there with a humble online presence but whose investments are focused on increasing e-commerce revenue.
