163,128 sellers have products listed for sale

That's why only 56,626 sellers received a feedback review in a month. However during past 12 months 128,862 sellers received at least one feedback review. These three figures combined illustrate the size of the active sellers pool of the marketplace.
38% of sellers use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)
Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is used by 33% of the top 100 sellers, 40% of the top 1,000 sellers, and 38% of the top 10,000 sellers. Thanks to FBA many of the sellers on Amazon.de marketplace are not based in Germany, as it enables international sellers to offer the same two-day shipping guarantee. From the customer point of view seller's business location is irrelevant as long as they are using FBA.
On avg 673 products listed by sellers using FBA vs. 8,412 by those who don't
On average a seller has 5,471 products listed for sale. Those who use FBA have 673 products listed on average, much less than those who don't use FBA at 8,412 products listed. This is because listing products when not using FBA can be done cheaply, while FBA requires physically sending those items to Amazon. This is further explored in the products listed by Amazon sellers report.
