    Afaik Walmart does the same.

    EBay is a different service as is Wayfair.

    Your own website as the manufacturer doesn’t have the reach of these other platforms. (in an age of SEO and AI searches it really doesn’t have to be that way).

    The strongest argument here is in favor of Aliexpress. Which isn’t without issues and heavily lobbied by amazon to have even more issues in the US.
