Exactly. It would have been nice to have a break down.

I did read it as most buy on amazon.

But also nearly every major brand in the UK has switched to a marketplace model. So it's not surprising either.

I'm constantly bombarded weekly with offers to sign up.

Yea it's cause it's doing well for competitors so makes sense they'd switch.

These articles are funny cause it would be like saying UK internet users rely on search engines but we all know 90% of that is just Google.

A lot. Everyone knows Amazon, and every seller wants to get on Amazon for that reason. Independent marketplaces have it really tough.
