eBay is closer to Amazon than this graphic makes it seem. The Amazon revenue is bloated by AWS and other services the company does, while eBay's is pretty much purely e-commerce.

I think AWS revenue is only about 15%. Profit is higher. I don't know about other services.

eBay used to be so good, and you can still find cool stuff there, but it's mostly flooded with Chinese junk that people are, "drop shipping," from aliexpress or alibaba. eBay is also well known for it's terrible management.

These days, I think people categorize eBay as more similar to a site like Craigslist than a site like Amazon. I know I do, although that definitely doesn't stop me from using it.

Same, thought target/Walmart would be higher than wayfair but maybe they own a lot of companies idk

They probably are, this looks like it’s not including any companies with brick and mortar stores

I think you extrapolate the US market to the whole world.

Target does 100% of his business in the US, while Walmart does 80%.

Even if I know these companies, I've never seen any of these stores here in Europe. Do you guys know Carrefour or Tesco ?

In the other hand, Amazon, Alibaba, Rakuten or Ebay are truly operating worldwide (idk about the others asian majors, maybe they are but not in my country)
