Units from third party (3P) sellers made up 49% of total units in Q2 2016, and Amazon only reports their commission as revenue for 3P sales rather than the total gross merchandise volume (GMV). A better comparison point is thus GMV, which was estimated at $225B for 2015[1], compared to $482B for Walmart.
