Commerce & Cloud Third-Party Seller Services Revenue measures fees earned from marketplace sellers.

Amazon reported $46.780 billion of third-party seller services revenue in fiscal Q2 2026, compared with $40.348 billion a year earlier. Amazon defines the category to include commissions, related fulfillment and shipping fees, and other seller services.

Why it matters

Seller-services revenue shows how the platform monetizes third-party commerce without recording the entire merchandise value as revenue.

Investor caution

This is revenue earned from sellers, not third-party GMV. Changes can reflect seller volume, fulfillment adoption, fee schedules, shipping activity, and service mix.

Part of the Commerce & Cloud Ecosystem Economics

Connect first-party retail, marketplace seller services, advertising, subscriptions, cloud infrastructure, segment profitability, and infrastructure investment inside a diversified commerce-and-cloud platform.

How the model fits together
  • Commerce revenue stack: Online stores record gross product sales, while third-party seller services monetize marketplace activity through commissions, fulfillment, shipping, and other fees. Advertising and subscriptions add separate service-revenue layers, so growth across these categories can diverge even when they share traffic, sellers, and customers.
  • Regional commerce profitability: North America and International operating income combine retail, seller, advertising, subscription, fulfillment, shipping, and technology costs inside geographic reportable segments. North America operating margin therefore describes the blended regional segment rather than any individual revenue category.
  • Cloud growth, profit, and infrastructure investment: Cloud infrastructure revenue and growth show customer usage and contract monetization, while AWS operating income and margin show segment profitability. Cash capital expenditures connect current demand to technology infrastructure and fulfillment investment but are not an AWS-only spending measure.
