Amazon Ecommerce

Just released:

Amazon's sales up a whopping 28% over the first quarter 2016. Astounding performance.

Now their total sales are just short of $30 Billion for first quarter alone!

They're now even beginning to lease air cargo planes to support one and two-day delivery for U.S. customers (is this a precursor for cargo flights from china to usa?).

The majority of amazon business sellers I know are reporting sales up too.

Good luck with your ventures.

    My amazon sales are up slightly this month - not a ton, but enough to be noticeable. I hope it continues to trend.

    Amazon has all this data, they know there is money to be made in transportation as well. What they will do is they will open warehouses in China and offer sellers to just ship the goods there...and for a "small" fee they will take care of the shipment, customs, taxes etc. for you.

    It's just logical, they will round up their offer.

      It has gone much further than that. Amazon is boasting that they already helped Chinese sellers to double their sales on Amazon in one year. They are giving help to Chinese sellers to do things they won't allow western sellers to do.

        I had a read thorugh the thread you said and it was amazing to see how Amazon are doing the dirty on us in the US and I suppose other places too where Amazon are. They don't care about the thousands of sellers here cos they want the many more thousands from China.

    Same way to be a good seller on any platform: provide great quality products at a good price and give great customer service.

    Though amazon sales are up, I must warn that you must have done what needed to be done from your end to be seeing sales.
