• In Jeff’s own words (2019 Q1 shareholders letter): “Something strange and remarkable has happened over the last 20 years. Take a look at these numbers: 1999 - 3% …… 2018 - 58%. The % represent the share of physical gross merchandise sales sold on Amazon by independent third-party sellers – mostly small- and medium-sized businesses – as opposed to Amazon retail's own first party sales. Third-party sales have grown from 3% of the total to 58%. To put it bluntly: Third-party sellers are kicking our first party butt. Badly.…. Why were independent sellers able to grow so much faster than Amazon's own highly organized first-party sales organization? There isn't one answer, but we do know one extremely important part of the answer: We helped independent sellers compete against our first-party business by investing in and offering them the very best selling tools we could imagine and build.
• Our team is pushing the boundaries of these machine learning tools in areas of Agentic, recommendation and forecasting systems to help our sellers sell more and across borders.
