People will not buy online till the lockdown in all countries ends. How will the products get delivered to buyer's homes. Offices and factories are closed worldwide.
and amazon going full speed and making huge profits in these lockdown times. as are amazon sellers... with countless new ones joining amazon to sell to seize business opportunity. or just as a new business venture for msny people who now lost their other biz and jobs and looking for new revenue sources. i would imagine its same increases on ebay new members and sales, but i only heard about the amazon case.
I would just like to correct you @alcy. Amazon is not exactly "going full speed and making huge profits." I would know because I am an Amazon FBA seller. Amazon had temporarily stopped shipping out millions of different products via Prime. In an email to sellers, Amazon distinguishes "essential" verses "non-essential" categories. For example, Groceries, certain health and beauty products, and baby essentials continue to be shipped as normally. Non essential goods like toys, electronics, clothing, sports equipment, are temporarily put on the back burner.
Amazon's reasoning is to lessen the strain on their warehouse workers as well as the fact that legally they are required to comply with many state orders requiring a pause of non-essential business.
To be clear, third party sellers like myself can still ship out those "non-essential" items out of our own warehouses. Additionally, sellers can go through a Amazon test period where they show themselves worthy of getting the coveted "PRIME" logo by 2 day fulfillment from their own warehouse. If you pass the test, then you can ship items from your home/warehouse for example and customers will still see the Prime logo on your products.
@stub no idea where you are - but if you are driving distance to northern Massachusetts, I would be happy to loan you one - actually you could keep it.
