MP

In the Amazon ecosystem, a Marketplace (MP) refers to the geographically and legally distinct version of the Amazon platform that serves a particular country or region. Each marketplace has its own:

• Domain (e.g., amazon.ca, amazon.fr)
• Currency and tax system
• Language and localization requirements
• Fulfilment networks and delivery promises
• Product catalog rules and compliance standards

Examples of Amazon marketplaces:

• Amazon.com - United States
• Amazon.co.uk - United Kingdom
• Amazon.de - Germany
• Amazon.co.jp - Japan
• Amazon.in - India

Why MP matters:

• Sellers must register and manage accounts individually or via unified accounts
• Listings often need to be translated and localized
• Advertising, promotions, and Buy Box performance are marketplace-specific
• Metrics like sales, reviews, and inventory are tracked per marketplace
• Global sellers can expand using tools like Build International Listings (BIL) or Amazon Global Selling

💡 Example: A seller registered on Amazon.com wants to expand into Amazon.co.uk - they must localize their listings and comply with UK VAT and shipping regulations.

In short:
MP (Marketplace) refers to a specific Amazon regional platform - each with its own rules, language, and customer base - where sellers list and manage products separately.
