Pretty sure the 50% Chinese sellers is more like 80%, including those who use USA addresses in Florida...
But this says it all..(not that it is news)
“[T]he risky downside to this is that US and EU based sellers do not find this avalanche of China based sellers very amusing,” former Amazon executive Sebastian Gunningham once told colleagues in a 2015 email as the company was ramping up its recruiting in China, adding, “I have coached the team to be aggressive marketing in China to sell globally,” but to be “low key” about the influx of Chinese sellers in Western markets.
adding millions of new merchants over the years has also helped to line Amazon’s coffers in the form of revenue from seller fees. In fact, if Amazon’s third-party seller business were its own company, it would be a Fortune 25 corporation. In 2024, seller fees filled Amazon’s war chest with more than $150 billion in revenue—and that doesn’t even include the billions more in advertising that independent merchants buy on the world’s largest marketplace.

I'm sure that link will be removed pretty quickly since Amazon does that.
About the only really interesting thing I saw when I scanned the Yahoo finance story about the Fortune story titled "Top U.S. Amazon sellers are furious about the ‘avalanche’ of Chinese competitors—and they crave a Trump intervention"
was this --
"Dix, the Amazon spokesperson, did not directly comment on this proposal but said Amazon investigates all counterfeit and IP infringement claims, and that the company has made progress as evidenced by a 30%-plus reduction in credible infringement violation notices submitted by brands since 2020."
OF COURSE you would see a reduction in reports when the sellers reporting are not on Amazon any more because they were probably driven out of business.
Last year reports say that over 50% of sellers on here were 'offshore'.
@Seller_4zBzdtgCyS9EIis probably correct since so many have filed with states that allow anyone to use a shill filing company to show a US presence.
