Market Chatter: Amazon's Prime Day Faces Pullback From Sellers Amid US-China Tariff Impact
May 25, 2025 8:01 PM

07:41 AM EDT, 04/28/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Amazon's ( AMZN ) Prime Day is set to see reduced participation from third-party sellers, especially those importing China-made goods, due to the impact of steep US-China trade tariffs, Reuters reported Monday.

The report said the pullback could lower Amazon's ( AMZN ) fees and advertising revenue for the event and limit discounted items' availability.

Amazon ( AMZN ) typically takes a 15% commission on each sale, not including fees for promotional placements like 'Best Deal' or 'Lightning Deal,' which can cost sellers $500 to $1,000, Reuters said.

Third-party sellers accounted for nearly 62% of units sold on Amazon ( AMZN ) in Q4 2024, Reuters said, citing e-commerce research firm Marketplace Pulse.

In 2024, US shoppers spent $14.2 billion during Prime Day, an 11% increase from the previous year, Reuters said, citing research firm Adobe Analytics.

While Amazon ( AMZN ) has not set a date for Prime Day 2025, it has confirmed the event will span four days in July, the report said.

Amazon ( AMZN ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
