Question: Athletica Shoes sells their inventory directly to Amazon, whereas Shoez owns their inventory and uses Amazon.com to list products for sale. Which company is an Amazon.com vendor?
- Athletica Shoes
- Shoez
- Neither of these options
Explanation
An Amazon.com vendor has a first-party retail relationship with Amazon.
In this model, inventory is sold wholesale to Amazon, and Amazon handles resale to customers.
A business that owns inventory and lists products for sale on Amazon.com is operating through Seller Central as a third-party seller.
The distinction is based on who buys the inventory before the customer purchase.
Why the other options are incorrect
Shoez owns its inventory and lists products for sale, which describes a third-party seller relationship.
Neither of these options is incorrect because one company matches the Amazon.com vendor model.
