Broadly the same as last year. However, without NPD we’d be well down.

Stats for 2022 -
- The number of sellers on Amazon increases by 3700 every day, showing that there’s a growing demand for third-party sellers on Amazon.
That’s worldwide - but they are all competitors

UK Amazon Market “people are spending more but buying less” due to inflation.
My sales are up 28% this year but my unit sales are only up 8% and I’m hardly sending anything past few weeks.
But a few months ago I tried to tailor my product range to products that I felt would do well in a recession/inflation and based on consumer trends after a huge dip in February when I thought it was game over and a disappointing November and December!

50% down 
Mixture of reasons, catalogue search is a big issue, catalogue keyword pollution, price suppression another and bots corrupting once perfectly functioning pages…
Amazon have also started gating certain items, best sellers in fact, so they are the exclusive supplier to the extent of x1 offer of new stock, x13 offers of warehouse deals, they also seem to be introducing these as loss-leaders below comparable off-platform prices.
We expect our percentage sales here to stagnate or drop further, the silver lining is that away from the above disfunction, the air is much clearer and the time sink that characterises this place is non-existent.
Amazon’s big UPS is simply gatekeeping and guarding it’s customer base, not much more, I don’t think anyone comes here for the lols tbh.

yes mine has, since the eu has meddled and given marketplace sellers equal status with FBA
imo this is confusing buyers as they think they are buying prime and they are not

Competition is a factor as is the general cost of living. We not only run on Amazon but operate a bricks and mortar store and sales are definately down this year.
It doesn’t help when suppliers are struggling and sell direct to AMZ.

Business about the same here , but I sell far more repair adhesives for fixing the items customers already have , rather than selling them expensive new replacement items .

App says up 60% YTD. But my gut says different. And that’s with most of Jan off due to the malware incident. But Etsy has been dreadful. Think down 33%.
The odd big sale (there’s plenty of £ floating about for some folk) then nothing or very quiet for a few days or weeks. That’s skewing my figures. It’s the cheaper and expensive ends they are going for. My middle price range is dead.
There’ll be first time buyers on mortgages of £2-3k+/month now. Like the one I heard on the radio today. Had to sell up and move back in with their parents despite earning a decent salary. It’s very tough for a lot of folk and even if it’s not, it makes you more cautious of spending. I’m holding off on that dream camper van I’ve had the money saved for, for quite a while now. And therein lies the problem. The economy needs more people spending but the clusterf*** caused by those higher up put a stop to that.

I would be happy to only be 20-30% down. It’s dead.
