How Many Sellers Does Amazon Have?

9.7 million sellers have ever registered with Amazon as sellers. That figure includes dormant accounts, suspended sellers, and businesses that tried and stopped.

There were around 1.9 million sellers who were active across the world by the year 2025, as compared to 2.4 million active sellers in 2021.

The table below illustrates the number of active Amazon sellers each year:
‍

Traffic per active seller has increased 31% since 2021, meaning each surviving seller is reaching a larger audience than before.

The number of Amazon's new vendors decreased by 44% in 2025 compared to 2024 and amounted to only 165,000, which is the lowest value in over ten years.

There are more than 100,000 vendors on Amazon generating more than $1 million a year; that is almost double the number of those vendors, who were around 60,000 in 2021.

In 2025 alone, more than 75,000 independent sellers crossed $1 million in sales in Amazon, marking a 36% increase from 2024.

Additionally, there have been 235 vendors making more than $100 million every year, as against 50 four years ago.

The United States remains the largest single country by seller volume, with around 37.82% of all registered sellers.

China-based sellers have grown rapidly and now represent roughly 35.1% of Amazon's third-party revenue, while the UK accounts for about 9.54% of the global seller base.

Average Number Of Listings Per Amazon Seller

In the 2025 seller survey conducted by Jungle Scout, 26% of the sellers have only one product listed, while 77% have less than 10 products listed.

The calculated weighted average of the number of listings per seller is about 8.3. However, the picture changes when considering the median, since a median seller has three listings.

74% of Amazon sellers started with less than $5,000 in total investment, which naturally limits initial catalog size.

FBA sellers, who represent 82% of all active sellers, tend to maintain smaller catalogs than FBM sellers.

Amazon Marketplace Statistics

Amazon attracted approximately 2.6 billion web visits per month to Amazon.com, the highest of any e-commerce site globally. The US accounts for over 86% of that traffic, with users spending an average of 5 minutes and 54 seconds per session.

Today, Amazon has over 310 million active users across the globe. As per the latest reports, Amazon Prime subscribers have grown to more than 230 million from 46 million in 2015.

Prime subscription is key to the performance of sellers on the platform since 73 percent of customers list fast, free shipping as their primary motivation to shop at Amazon.

Third-party sellers now define the marketplace's character. Third-party GMV reached approximately $575 billion in 2025, representing roughly 69% of Amazon's total marketplace GMV, up from 60% in 2019.

In unit terms, third-party sellers accounted for 61% of all paid units sold on Amazon in Q4 2025.

By 2025, approximately 900,000 Amazon sellers were using AI tools to generate or refine product listings, cutting average listing creation time from 4 hours to 30 to 45 minutes per product.

A further 1.3 million sellers used Amazon's own generative AI listing tools by Q3 2025.

Amazon FBA Statistics

Approximately 82% of active Amazon sellers use FBA, either exclusively or as part of a hybrid model. That figure has risen steadily from around 50% in 2019.
‍

Here is a table displaying Amazon FBA adoption rates across different time periods:
‍

When you add referral fees, FBA fulfillment fees, storage charges, and advertising, the average FBA seller pays 30% to 35% of revenue back to Amazon.

After accounting for those costs and the cost of goods, the average FBA seller earns a net profit margin of 15% to 20%.

Approximately 64% of Amazon FBA sellers achieve profitability within their first 12 months.

Over 800,000 brands are now enrolled in Amazon's Brand Registry, a 20% increase from the previous year. In 2024, Amazon's proactive controls blocked more than 99% of suspected infringing listings before brand owners had to find and report them.

Amazon vs. eBay Seller Statistics

Amazon has approximately 9.7 million active sellers globally. eBay hosts approximately 17.6 million sellers, a number that is larger on paper but reflects a very different seller mix.
‍

‍

The table below tracks eBay's total seller count from 2007 through 2024:

If you feel like you’ve hit a growth ceiling on Amazon, expanding your brand onto TikTok is one of the smartest scaling moves you can make right now.

These two platforms, however, operate on completely different buyer mindsets.

Amazon is a high-intent search engine where users go specifically to buy things they already know they want. TikTok, on the other hand, is a discovery engine where users stumble upon products they didn't even know they needed until it popped up on their feed.

Even though TikTok has completely different buyer behavior, we’ve still seen Amazon brands thrive on the platform..

Here you'll learn the most effective ways to adapt your current Amazon business for the TikTok ecosystem.
‍

Key Takeaways

‍

• Search vs. Discovery: Amazon relies on high-intent search and TikTok drives rapid impulse buys through mobile-first video discovery.
  ‍
• Low Fees Fund Affiliates: TikTok’s flat 6% referral fee frees up the margin you need to recruit top-tier creators using lucrative "Targeted Plan" commissions.
  ‍
• Fulfillment Flexibility: Ship seamlessly from your existing FBA pool using Amazon MCF, or use Fulfilled by TikTok (FBT) for cheaper base fees and an algorithmic boost.
  ‍
• Strict Logistics Probation: New shops face daily order caps. You must maintain a >95% Valid Tracking Rate and <4% Late Dispatch Rate to graduate and unlock unlimited volume.
  ‍
• Listing Imports: You cannot bulk-sync your Amazon catalog. Instead, bypass manual entry by using TikTok's List with a URL tool to instantly scrape and draft individual product pages.
  ‍
• Track the "Halo Effect": Viral TikTok videos organically spike your Amazon Best Sellers Rank. Measure this spillover using Amazon Attribution links and Search Query Performance.

Why Sellers Love TikTok Shop

‍

The massive influx of e-commerce sellers flocking to TikTok Shop isn't just driven by hype, it is backed by superior unit economics and a frictionless buyer journey. When compared to the climbing overhead of Amazon or the uphill battle of driving cold traffic to a standard DTC storefront, TikTok Shop hits a highly profitable sweet spot.

By combining slashed platform fees, an instant checkout process, and a built-in marketing ecosystem, the platform has fundamentally changed how digital brands capture volume.

Before we dive deeper, let's first take a closer look at the core reasons sellers love the platform:
‍

Strikingly Lower Referral Fees

If you are used to Amazon taking a 15% to 30% cut of your top-line revenue just for the referral fee, TikTok Shop is a breath of fresh air.
‍

• TikTok Shop’s platform referral fee sits at 6% all-in.
  ‍
• This lower fee gives you the extra margin cushion you need to fund creator commissions or run aggressive discounts to trigger the algorithm.
  ‍

Zero-Friction Native Checkout

When you drop a link in your bio directing traffic to an external website, you lose a massive chunk of your audience at every click.

With TikTok Shop, the buyer clicks a product tag on a video, a native checkout drawer slides up, and they buy via Apple Pay or TikTok Pay in two clicks—without the video ever pausing. This friction-free process pushes conversion rates into the 3% to 5% range, easily beating standard direct-to-consumer (DTC) storefronts.
‍

An On-Demand Affiliate Sales Force

Instead of managing complex influencer contracts, TikTok’s built-in Affiliate Marketplace lets you upload your product, set a commission rate (e.g., 15%), and make it available to hundreds of thousands of creators. They request free samples, create the content, and sell for you. You only pay them after a verified sale is completed.
‍

The Amazon "Halo Effect"

The traffic generated on TikTok doesn't stay entirely on TikTok. Data shows a massive percentage of scrollers will see a product go viral, open their Amazon app, and search for the brand name directly to look at reviews or see if it’s Prime-eligible. Opening a TikTok Shop will almost always cause a natural, organic lift to your Amazon Best Sellers Rank (BSR).
‍

TikTok Shop vs Amazon vs Shopify

‍

‍

A quick warning on margins: While the 6% fee is low, TikTok Shop requires tight inventory management. If an affiliate video goes viral, you can see a 10x demand spike overnight. If you stock out, TikTok's algorithm penalizes your shop visibility quickly.

‍

Can You Integrate Amazon to TikTok Shop?

If you’re wondering how to add Amazon storefront to TikTok, there is no official button to directly connect your Amazon seller account or sync your listings to TikTok Shop. Instead, TikTok wants you to use their own Seller Center platform, meaning you have to upload and manage your product catalog over there specifically for your TikTok audience.

Need a workaround? Checkout TikTok's List with a URL feature and Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment Apps.
‍

List with a URL (The Front-End Hack)

If you've ever dreaded launching on a new platform because of the sheer amount of manual data entry involved, TikTok has finally solved that problem.

Officially rolled out in the TikTok Shop Academy on May 13, 2026, the built-in "List with a URL" tool completely streamlines the onboarding process.

Instead of manually downloading your Amazon images or retyping descriptions, you can simply paste a single product link from either Amazon or Shopify directly into the TikTok Seller Center. The system instantly scrapes the page to generate a ready-to-edit draft listing.

Because this tool creates a draft, you have complete control to edit and optimize the copied information to better suit a mobile audience before hitting publish. The feature is currently limited to single-product URLs. This means you can’t copy your entire Amazon storefront all at once.

Additionally, if the product you are importing belongs to a restricted brand, you must apply for and secure brand authorization inside the TikTok platform before the system will allow you to copy and pull its information.
‍

How to use "List with a URL"
‍

‍

Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment Apps (The Back-End Engine)

Once your product listings are live, you need a way to fulfill incoming viral orders without running out of stock or missing strict shipping windows. Since TikTok does not offer a direct, native API connection to Amazon, you will use Amazon Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF) combined with a third-party connector app to get the job done.

The biggest benefit of this setup is that you don't have to split your stock. You get to use a single pool of inventory sitting in Amazon's fulfillment centers to feed both your FBA Amazon sales and your TikTok Shop sales simultaneously.

If you're worried about TikTok's strict shipping speed rules, MCF has you covered. It offers standard delivery within three business days (with a 98% success rate) and provides real-time AFTN tracking numbers on 100% of orders to keep your TikTok account health in perfect standing.

Plus, you can protect your brand experience and prevent buyer confusion by toggling on the "Unbranded Packaging" option in MCF, ensuring Amazon ships your TikTok orders in blank boxes at no extra cost to you.

‍

How to Automate TikTok Orders with Amazon MCF

‍

‍

Optimizing Your Amazon Listings for Mobile Scrollers

‍

Amazon listings are built for the A9 search algorithm. They are packed with dense, keyword-stuffed titles and long paragraphs of text meant to be read on a desktop. If you blindly copy and paste that exact formatting into TikTok using the "List with a URL" tool, your conversion rate will tank.

TikTok is a mobile-first discovery engine. Users are scrolling rapidly and buying on impulse. They do not want to read a spec sheet. They want to know exactly what the product does for them in three seconds or less.
‍

Amazon-to-TikTok Listing Optimization Checklist
‍

FBT vs. Amazon MCF

If you are setting up your logistics, you will inevitably hear about Fulfilled by TikTok (FBT).

This is TikTok’s in-house 3PL network and their direct answer to Amazon FBA. When you use FBT, you send a portion of your inventory directly to TikTok-partnered warehouses, and they handle the picking, packing, and shipping.

Because TikTok desperately wants to control the end-to-end buyer experience, they heavily incentivize sellers to use FBT by giving those products a massive algorithmic visibility boost and protecting your account from negative strikes if a carrier delay occurs.

However, splitting your inventory between Amazon and TikTok creates cash-flow headaches. So, which one should you choose?
‍

Storage & Fulfillment Comparison: TikTok FBT vs. Amazon FBA

‍

‍

The Verdict: If your product is highly viral, lightweight, and you know it will sell out quickly, TikTok FBT is the cheaper option, and the algorithm boost is worth the hassle of splitting stock. If your product is heavy, sells slowly, or you just want to test the waters without risking stranded inventory, stick to Amazon MCF.
‍

How Strict Are TikTok’s Logistics Metrics?

Amazon sellers are used to strict metrics, but TikTok's account health enforcement is notoriously brutal.

Every new seller is automatically placed into the TikTok Shop Probation Program. During this phase, your shop is heavily restricted—often capped at a maximum of 50 to 100 orders per day. To graduate from probation and unlock unlimited daily orders, you must prove you can ship products fast without generating customer complaints.

‍The three metrics you must obsess over:
‍

• Valid Tracking Rate (VTR): Must be 95% or higher.
  ‍
• Late Dispatch Rate (LDR): Must stay below 4%. TikTok requires orders to be scanned by a carrier within two business days.  
  ‍
• Seller-Fault Cancellation Rate: Must stay below 2.5%. If you run out of stock and have to cancel orders, your shop will be penalized immediately.
  ‍

How MCF apps save you: If you are using Amazon MCF to fulfill orders, your third-party connector app (like Pipe17 or WebBee) is responsible for grabbing the Amazon tracking number and pushing it back to your TikTok Seller Center instantly. This ensures your VTR stays at 100% and you sail through the probation period without manual data entry errors.
‍

How Brands Measure the "Halo Effect"

One of the greatest benefits of TikTok Shop is the massive wave of secondary traffic it sends back to your Amazon storefront. Many scrollers will watch a viral video, decide they want the product, but close TikTok and open their Amazon app to buy it using Prime shipping.

Because this traffic happens off-platform, it can feel impossible to track.

Here is how data-driven brands measure the Halo Effect:
‍

How to Recruit Creators from the Affiliate Marketplace

‍

TikTok’s built-in Affiliate Marketplace is the engine that drives your sales, but creators won't just magically find your product. You have to actively recruit them and offer competitive financial incentives.

High-performing creators don't evaluate affiliate offers emotionally; they evaluate them economically. You will manage your recruits using two main commission structures:
‍

Open Plan vs. Targeted Plan
‍

‍

Pro Tip: Do not underprice your Open Plan. In 2026, serious creators expect category minimums (e.g., Beauty sits at a 20% floor). If you set your Open Plan at 5%, the creators who actually move volume will simply scroll past your shop.

Going live on TikTok is one of the easiest ways to build real-time engagement with your audience.

For creators, it is a chance to connect with followers, answer questions, and grow a loyal community. For sellers, it can turn product demos, live Q&As, and limited-time offers into direct sales opportunities.

Here's a step by step guide on how to do TikTok Live, including what you need before you stream, how to go live from a mobile device, and how to stream from a PC using TikTok LIVE Studio or OBS. You’ll also learn practical tips for keeping viewers engaged, improving stream quality, and using live content more strategically as a creator or eCommerce seller.
‍

Key Takeaways:
‍

• Requirements: You need at least 1,000 followers and must be 18 years or older to unlock the LIVE feature and receive gifts.
  ‍
• Mobile Streaming: Tap the + button, select LIVE from the bottom menu, add a compelling title, and hit Go LIVE.  
  ‍
• PC Streaming: Use TikTok LIVE Studio for an all-in-one desktop setup, or configure OBS Studio using your TikTok stream key.
  ‍
• Best Practices: Start engaging immediately, use an eye-level camera angle, and ensure you have a highly stable internet connection.
  ‍

Reasons Why You Should Stream

‍

‍

Massive Boost in E-Commerce Revenue

TikTok Live directly impacts your bottom line by enabling frictionless, in-app purchases. Live shopping drives 26% of TikTok's GMV with a 7.8% conversion rate. This outperforms the 2.1% rate of standard video ads. Going live creates urgency. Hosting flash sales and limited-time discounts pushes viewers to buy immediately.
‍

Unrivaled Real-Time Engagement

Live streams offer a two-way conversation that static videos cannot match. Live video drives 38% higher engagement than pre-recorded content. Answering questions and acknowledging viewers by name builds trust, converting casual scrollers into loyal customers and boosting your visibility on the "For You" page.
‍

Seamless Integration with Amazon FBA Strategies

TikTok Live is a powerful external traffic engine for Amazon sellers. Addressing pain points and demonstrating products live sends highly motivated buyers to your storefront, increasing conversion rates on your listing and improving organic ranking.
‍

• Pro Tip: Use a product research tool to verify search volume and an FBA calculator to ensure your external traffic remains profitable after fees.
  ‍

Better Product Discovery Than Static Images

Live streaming showcases the true scale and quality of your ASIN, eliminating buyer hesitation. Podbase data shows 76% of users who join a Live session make a purchase because authentic, real-time demonstrations provide ultimate social proof. Conduct Amazon competitor analysis beforehand to clearly highlight on stream why your product beats the competition.
‍

What You Need Before You Stream on TikTok

Before you set up your camera and start engaging with your audience, TikTok enforces strict eligibility rules to maintain platform quality.

Here is exactly what you need to have in place before you can go live.

‍

‍

How to Do TikTok Live on a Mobile Device

Most creators start on mobile because it requires minimal gear. Here is how to start your first broadcast:
‍

Open the App: Launch TikTok and tap the + (Add Post) button at the bottom center of your screen.

‍

‍

Select LIVE: Swipe through the bottom menu options (Post, Create, Live)

‍

‍

Set Up Your Stream: * Add a Title: Keep it under 32 characters. Use a specific hook like "Live Product Q&A" rather than a generic "Going Live."
 

Choose a Category: If you are streaming mobile games, select the gaming category.
‍

Adjust Settings: Tap the three dots to manage your mic, mirror your camera, or add moderators. You can also set a live goal to incentivize viewers to send gifts.
‍

Go LIVE: Once your lighting is dialed in and your internet connection is stable, tap the red Go LIVE button.

‍

‍

How to Stream on TikTok from a PC

Streaming on TikTok from a PC gives you more control than going live from your phone. It is especially useful if you want to stream gameplay, share your screen, use a webcam and microphone setup, or create a more polished broadcast with overlays and scenes.

To stream from a desktop, you can use TikTok LIVE Studio for a simple all-in-one setup or OBS Studio if you already have access to a TikTok stream key. In this section, we’ll walk through both options so you can choose the setup that fits your content, technical comfort level, and streaming goals.

‍

Option A: TikTok LIVE Studio (Recommended for Beginners)

‍

‍

TikTok LIVE Studio is a free application that makes PC streaming incredibly simple.
‍

• Download the software and log in.
  ‍
• Add your display capture, webcam, and microphone using the built-in scene templates.
  ‍
• Adjust your stream quality (1080p at 60fps is highly recommended if your connection allows it).
  ‍
• Manage your chat and moderation tools directly within the same window.
  ‍

Option B: OBS Studio (For Advanced Users)

‍

If you already use OBS for Twitch or YouTube, you can route it to TikTok.  
‍

• Locate your TikTok Server URL and Stream Key (found in the TikTok Live Center on desktop).
  ‍
• Paste these credentials into the Custom Stream Server settings in OBS.
  ‍
• Note: Keep your stream key private. If leaked, anyone can broadcast to your account.
  ‍

TikTok Live Monetization Mechanics

Going live isn't just about building a community; it is a direct avenue for generating revenue. TikTok offers robust, built-in monetization tools that allow you to earn money natively during your broadcast.

Here is how the two primary income streams work.
‍

TikTok Shop Integration

For e-commerce sellers, integrating TikTok Shop is the most lucrative monetization strategy. This feature allows viewers to purchase your products directly within the app, creating a frictionless buying experience.

Here is exactly how to pin a product to your live stream:

Link Your Shop: Ensure your TikTok Shop or affiliated store is fully set up and linked to your creator account before broadcasting.

Access the Product Tool: While setting up your LIVE (or during the broadcast), tap the Shopping Bag icon on the screen.

Select Your Items: Choose the specific products from your catalog that you will be discussing or demonstrating during the stream.

Pin to Screen: Tap Pin next to a product to highlight it. A small, clickable product card will appear on the viewer's screen.

Direct the Traffic: Tell your audience to click the pinned card. They can complete their checkout seamlessly without ever leaving your live stream.

Seller Tip: Do not just pin a product and hope for the best. Use an FBA calculator to understand your true margins, and run exclusive, time-sensitive "Live Only" flash sales to create extreme buying urgency.
‍

Virtual Gifts and Diamonds

Even if you aren't actively selling a physical product, you can monetize your live stream through TikTok's virtual gifting economy.

LIVE Gifts let viewers support creators during a TikTok LIVE. When you turn on LIVE Gifts and start streaming, viewers can send virtual Gifts that appear on the screen in real time.

These Gifts are a way for viewers to react to your content, show appreciation, and help make your LIVE more engaging. As your LIVE becomes more popular, TikTok may award you Diamonds based on the activity and support your stream receives.

After your LIVE ends, you’ll see the total number of Diamonds collected in your LIVE summary. Receiving Gifts and collecting Diamonds must follow TikTok’s virtual items policies.

Here is how the mechanics of gifting work:
‍

Viewers Buy Coins: Users purchase virtual "Coins" using real money through the TikTok app.

‍

‍
‍Viewers Send Gifts: During your stream, viewers can use their Coins to send you digital animations (Gifts), ranging from a simple "Rose" to massive screen-covering animations.

‍

‍
‍You Earn Diamonds: When you receive a Gift, TikTok awards your account with "Diamonds." Diamonds are the metric TikTok uses to measure a creator's popularity and content quality.

‍Converting to Cash: Once you accumulate enough Diamonds, you can withdraw them for fiat currency via PayPal or a linked bank account. TikTok takes a percentage of the revenue (typically around 50%) during this conversion process.

As long as your account meets the eligibility requirements outlined earlier, you can withdraw your Diamonds for fiat currency. To maximize this income stream, set up "Live Goals" before you start broadcasting. Reminding your audience of these goals throughout the stream is a proven way to incentivize more Gifts.

TikTok LIVE replays

‍

TikTok LIVE replays are saved recordings of your previous LIVE videos. You can view, download, or clip them for up to 30 days after your stream ends.

TikTok saves LIVE videos so creators can access their replays, download past streams, or turn highlights into clips. These recordings also help TikTok improve content moderation and respond to content that may violate its Community Guidelines.

To find your LIVE replays, open the TikTok app and go to your Profile. Tap the Menu button at the top, then select TikTok Studio. From there, tap LIVE, then choose LIVE recordings.

You can also access your LIVE replays through the LIVE Center.
