The event was underwhelming with little advertising or curation of products, says Juozas Kaziukėnas, founder of marketplace data firm Marketplace Pulse. “While Prime Day has become a somewhat known event, this Style Sale was very forgettable,” he says.
Amazon sales events, however, still generated a lift in sales, despite lackluster presentation, Kaziukėnas adds.
Juozas Kaziukenas, founder and CEO of business intelligence firm Marketplace Pulse, said in a blog post the move will benefit the ecommerce industry “in ways that are invisible to consumers.”
“The change doesn’t prevent sellers from faking business details or establishing new business entities when they want to appear unrelated to a previously suspended or just another seller account,” Kaziukenas wrote. “(It’s) a common practice among international sellers because Amazon’s vetting of business details is imperfect. But additional transparency will perhaps enable third-party companies to analyze those business entities better than Amazon.”
Kaziukenas applauded the move, saying “commerce shouldn’t be anonymous.”
“Making sellers’ business identities public is the right step, and further tightening rules around business identities used for selling on Amazon would be a welcome change too,” he said.
“Amazon doesn’t do random things, just to try to help consumers,” said Juozas Kaziukenas, CEO of the e-commerce research firm Marketplace Pulse.
Kaziukenas said the company may have made the move to get ahead of the upcoming hearing, which promises to be a high-profile spectacle that’s part of lawmakers’ wide-ranging antitrust probe into the tech industry.
Amazon’s U.S. marketplace is its oldest and largest, with 461,000 active U.S. sellers out of its 2.2 million worldwide actives. In total, there are 8.6 million registered sellers worldwide and Amazon adds around a million more per year, according to Marketplace Pulse data.
Amazon has more than 2 million sellers globally and 461,000 active sellers are based in the U.S., according to e-commerce research firm Marketplace Pulse.
“Brands that are trying to enforce approved retailers, chasing counterfeits, will see a legal entity to go after,” said Juozas Kaziukenas, who runs Marketplace Pulse. “Previously obtaining that information from Amazon was a long process.”
Laut den E-Commerce-Analysten „MarketplacePulse“ gab in es 2019 fast drei Millionen aktive Händler auf der Plattform.
Three million third parties from across the globe are now selling on Amazon’s platforms, according to e-commerce intelligence firm Marketplace Pulse.
The deal is “a win-win for both companies,” said Juozas Kaziukėnas, founder of Marketplace Pulse, an e-commerce researcher. Still, the partnership diverges from Shopify’s typical strategy of acting as a platform for brands competing with large retailers, he said.
The percentage of gross merchandise units sold by independent third-party merchants on Amazon's site has grown from 3% in 1999 to 60% in 2019, according to Marketplace Pulse.
Walmart did not respond to inquiries, but the company nearly doubled the number of sellers on its marketplace to 43,573 as of May 2020, up from 23,368 in May 2019, according to Marketplace Pulse.
The company did not respond for comment, but its Target Plus invite-only marketplace has grown to 109 merchants as of February, up from 30 a year ago, according to Marketplace Pulse.
According to Amazon’s latest Small Business Impact Report, it was working with more than 1.9 million small businesses, content creators and developers in the U.S. as of 2019. (Ecommerce intelligence firm Marketplace Pulse said it’s more like 1 million U.S.-based sellers specifically, which is about half of all sellers on Amazon.)
But in part because of increased competition—nearly 85,000 new sellers have joined the U.S. platform to date in 2020 alone, per Marketplace Pulse—it’s not as easy for sellers to make a buck on Amazon as it used to be.
