Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is used by 32% of the top 100 sellers, 29% of the top 1,000 sellers, and 35% of the top 10,000 sellers. Thanks to FBA many of the sellers on Amazon.co.uk marketplace are not based in UK, 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 811 products listed by sellers using FBA vs. 14,634 by those who don't
On average a seller has 10,414 products listed for sale. Those who use FBA have 811 products listed on average, much less than those who don't use FBA at 14,634 products listed. This is because listing products when not using FBA can be done cheaply, while FBA requires physically sending those items to Amazon.
