To give you some insight about the situation in France:
> It is very difficult to maintain diversity. Challengers can hardly face the leader head on. Amazon's dominance in e-commerce can always be put into perspective, as it only represents 13% of commerce in France today. Its position is much less dominant in France than in the United States. Except that e-commerce is far from having reached its saturation point.

I’d say it’s worse in other countries. The US probably has the most developed non-Amazon e-commerce market out there.
In Canada, doing an eBay search too is usually a non-starter, and there we have fewer niche online retailers in the first place.
Other countries without an e-commerce market right now risk becoming 100% dependent on Amazon.
