Amazon Marketplace allows sellers to list their items for sale through amazon.com. It offers credibility and brand recognition of Amazon.com to the smaller merchants with their own products. It was a decent alternative to creating own store and spend money on marketing, maintaining the online store.
Amazon had a monopoly in the marketplace for a few years. But now more players are entering the market due to the success of this business model. Recently Sears.com, Buy.com, and Walmart.com announced they will be entering into online marketplace business. Some of these providers are offering product fulfillment services in addition to marketplace list and payment transaction management.
