The consolidation of eCommerce & product advertising to a 2 primary platforms makes this anti-competitive and an anti-trust issue. I sympathize with him as he has the right to compete and to not be unduly constrained from competition .
- mikeash 13y agoEven if there really are only two primary e-commerce platforms, I would say that Google Shopping is definitely not one of them. It's a terrible experience and nobody I know uses it intentionally.

UI/UX aside - it and Amazon are the largest online sources for product promotion, information and purchasing (when Google finally launches their marketplace). Google Shopping is heavily used.
- mikeash 13y agoI really wouldn't have guessed. When I think e-commerce, I think Amazon, eBay, NewEgg.... Do you happen to have any numbers on it? Finding e-commerce numbers is already pretty hard, and finding numbers for an aggregator like Google Shopping seems just about impossible.
- TrevorJ 13y agoYour right, they don't use it intentionally, most people still think the google shopping results are part of the organic search return.
