So far this year 348,498 sellers joined the Amazon.com marketplace. This equals to 1,201 new sellers every day. During the last month alone 26,302 new sellers joined. However this is less than on other months this year.
647,163 sellers have products listed for sale
There are 647,163 sellers with products listed for sale. Although not all of them will have sales, as many are not price competitive. That's why only 191,517 sellers received a feedback review in a month. However during past 12 months 509,253 sellers received at least one feedback review. These three figures combined illustrate the size of the active sellers pool of the marketplace.
65% of sellers use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA)
Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) is used by 71% of the top 100 sellers, 65% of the top 1,000 sellers, and 65% of the top 10,000 sellers. Thanks to FBA many of the sellers on Amazon.com marketplace are not based in USA, 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 994 products listed by sellers using FBA vs. 48,197 by those who don't
On average a seller has 19,461 products listed for sale. Those who use FBA have 994 products listed on average, much less than those who don't use FBA at 48,197 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.
