Amazon, leading online retailers, has sold a record-setting more than two billion items worldwide in 2014.
A large number of sellers on Amazon have adopted the Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) service, that enables sellers to have Amazon store and ship their products directly to customers, while offering Amazon Prime benefits, free shipping, simple exporting to customers around the world, streamlined cross-border trade, easy returns, and award-winning Amazon customer service.
Sellers on Amazon from more than 100 different countries around the world fulfilled orders to customers in 185 countries using the FBA service. China and Hong Kong-based sellers with international sales grew 80 per cent year-over-year. Product selection available through FBA on the Amazon.in marketplace tripled year-over-year.
Amazon unveiled the ‘Make an Offer’ experience that allows customers to negotiate prices on items. Mr. Peter Faricy, VP for Amazon Marketplace said, “It’s been a record-setting year for selling on Amazon. We’re seeing strong growth from sellers listing their items across our global marketplaces.”
