Amazon.ca launched Amazon Marketplace, allowing Canadians to conveniently buy and sell used, new and collectible merchandise on the same pages where Amazon.ca sells those items new.
Amazon Marketplace makes it possible for anyone who has an item to sell, from individuals to small and large businesses, to offer that item directly to Amazon.ca customers alongside the same item offered by Amazon.ca. This side-by-side placement provides customers with more purchase options – including the opportunity to buy a used product at a lower price – helping them to find and discover products they may have been hesitant to try at a higher price point.
Amazon.ca guarantees all purchases made from third-party sellers; more information about Amazon.ca's A-to-z guarantee can be found at http://www.amazon.ca/help.

Amazon Marketplace first launched on Amazon.com in November 2000, and has since launched on Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.co.jp.
