Amazon.fr launched Marketplace late last week, allowing French customers to easily buy and sell used, collectible and new products on the same pages that Amazon.fr sells those items new. Amazon also introduced Marketplace last week on its Canadian site, www.amazon.ca.
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.fr customers alongside the same item offered by Amazon.fr. This side-by-side placement provides customers with greater selection – including the opportunity to buy a used product at a lower price.
Amazon Marketplace first launched on Amazon.com in November 2000, and has since launched on Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.co.jp. It has also been launched this week on Amazon.ca.
