3. Europe
Ranking basis: by ECDB 2025 Europe GMV ranking (Amazon ~$232B #1, ≈ the sum of #2–10 at $244B), excluding Russia-local platforms Ozon/Wildberries (essentially unreachable for global merchants); #5 decided by company-disclosed GMV. AliExpress (ECDB #4), Shein (#7), and eBay (CBCommerce #3) are near-list platforms.
| Rank | Platform | Company | Key data | Positioning & strengths |

| Near-list | AliExpress | Alibaba | ECDB Europe #4; CBCommerce cross-border #4 | Alibaba’s cross-border flagship; 2025 launched "Local+" local fulfillment |
⚠️ Definition note: Amazon Europe GMV (ECDB, including 3P) is not directly comparable with Amazon International segment net sales ($142.9B/2024); Allegro PLN 69.2B is a group definition (Poland local PLN 66.4B); Shein "US+EU >$40B" (Modaes) uses a different definition from its US GMV ~$6B and global revenue $41.8B — do not mix.
2025 developments: the EU opened a DSA investigation into Temu (maximum fine 6% of global turnover); from July 2026 a €3/parcel small-package customs charge hits the direct-mail model; Zalando completed the ABOUT YOU acquisition; Vinted Germany turned to profit; AliExpress shifted toward local fulfillment.

QX’jiswa li wieħed josserva?
- L-UE nediet investigazzjoni DSA dwar Temu (multi sa 6% tal-fatturat globali); Dazju ta' €3/pakkett f'pakkett żgħir minn Lulju 2026 jolqot il-mudell tal-posta diretta
- Zalando temm l-akkwist ABOUT YOU; Is-suq tal-bejgħ mill-ġdid online secondhand tal-Ewropa €21.6B (2025), mistenni li jżid €2B oħra
- TikTok Shop tnieda f'6 pajjiżi Ewropej minn April 2025, immirat għal 200 miljun utent tal-UE sal-2026
- Il-midja bl-imnut fl-Ewropa tonfoq €13.7B (+21.1%); It-tkabbir Temu / Shein qed jonqos iżda l-bażi hija diġà kbira
QX’inhuma l-għarfien ewlenin?
- Amazon Europe GMV ( ECDB , inkluż 3P) mhix komparabbli direttament mal-bejgħ nett tas-segment Internazzjonali ($142.9B/2024)
- Temu issa jaqbel ma' Amazon f'bejgħ transkonfinali (~24% sehem transkonfinali kull wieħed)
- It-taxxa tal-UE ta' €3/pakkett tal-2026 se tbiddel il-mudell ta' 'prezz ultra baxx + posta diretta'
