Amazon offers programs that enables sellers to sell their products on the company�� websites, including the sellers’ own branded websites, and fulfill orders through them.

Also, Amazon is a leader in the Internet commerce space, so look for them to continue to see rising profits, as more consumers and companies opt for this method of shopping and selling. However, Amazon�� second quarter earnings missed analyst expectations, as the e-commerce giant has been doing some big spending lately.
