3P Merchant Options Continue to Grow.
NewEgg.com is the latest retailer to open their doors to 3P Merchants with the launch of the NewEggMall.com.
Here are a list of Retailers who allow 3P Merchants to sell on their platform:
Amazon.com
Overstock.com
Buy.com
NewEggMarket.com
Play.com in the UK
Who will be next? Will BestBuy.com open its doors? Or will the new Gap Marketplace be the next store to welcome 3P merchants. Perhaps, Zappos will take a shot at this new business model.
As, I have said before, 2008 is the Year of the #P Seller and it looks like 2009 will be just as good.
Notice, I didn’t mention eBay, because they are not a retailer. They are a pure-play marketplace and will get lost in the shuffle.
