Amazon Australia grows revenue more than 1500% but remains a “small proportion” of the retail market. The company also reported it pulled in $106 million from retail sales, a further $23 million from third-party seller services, and $4.3 million from its Amazon Prime subscription service.
Australians have been free to buy goods from the United States via Amazon.com for years. However, from July 1, local customers wanting their goods delivered to an Australian address will only be able to purchase goods from Amazon's Australian website, which was launched last year.

How does selling on Amazon Australia work? The Amazon Marketplace is a platform that allows third-party sellers to sell their products through Amazon. In terms of costs, you'll also need to pay a monthly subscription fee and commission to sell your products.
Orders received by Amazon's American website will no longer be shipped to Australia. The same rule applies for Amazon's other overseas websites. While Amazon will not ship to Australian customers, US parcel shipping services will not be subject to any ban.
Amazon Australia generated $260 million in retail sales in 2018, its first full year of operation, and Mr Hottovy believes sales will more than double in 2019.

Can I Sell in the US Through Amazon Australia? Unfortunately not. Amazon Australia is a separate Marketplace in Australia which means that you cannot sell on Amazon.com. The good news is that Amazon has confirmed that Australian vendors will have access to international markets through Amazon Australia.

Success at any cost
If Amazon is able to replicate its US "success story" in Australia, that is a reason for incumbent retailers to worry. Around 50 per cent of all online sales in the United States are placed through Amazon, according to estimates from several retail analysts.Amazon will open a new fulfilment centre in Perth by the end of the year to keep up with increasing demand and offer fast delivery to more customers, the e-commerce company has said. The facility, set to go online in late 2019, is Amazon's third warehouse in Australia. It also has warehouses in Melbourne and Sydney.
How safe is Amazon? Amazon is as safe to use as any other established e-commerce website. It protects your personal and financial information, and transmits all of it securely. Neither Amazon nor its users are ever allowed to use your personal or financial information outside of the Amazon online marketplace.
The retail market in Australia is an estimated $20 billion with less 10% of that coming from ecommerce. This pales in comparison to the US which has a retail market value of $300 billion. Amazon was responsible for an estimated 44% of all US ecommerce sales in 2017 and fully 4% of the country's total retail sales.
