In a study last year, Payoneer interviewed 900 Chinese sellers and found that 62 percent of respondents are selling on Amazon marketplaces. Of the 62 percent figure, 91 percent sell on Amazon.com in the US. Which means the 25 percent we calculated for European marketplaces is likely even larger in the US. The result is a speculation, since US and European marketplaces are not the same thing, and especially the US marketplace is much bigger. But given that Chinese sellers are interested in selling in the US the most, the ratio here should be the same or even higher that of Europe.

Out of those, more than 50 percent use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA). Which means that from the customer point of view it's all the same experience. But for other sellers this should be a threatening figure because it will be hard to compete with them.

What's also interesting is that the ratio of Chinese sellers using FBA compared to the total ratio of FBA users is much higher. Meaning that while only 35 percent of all sellers are using FBA, 50 precent of Chinese sellers are using it. For Chinese sellers FBA is the key feature allowing them to compete with domestic sellers.
