Amazon hot in July

New York -- Amazon should be feeling pumped about the results of its one-day super sale anniversary event in July.



The Internet giant had a 30.1% increase in marketplace sales in July over the year-ago period, with the increase likely due to its “Prime Day” sale on July 15, according to a ChannelAdvisor report.



While Amazon soared in July, eBay continued to struggle at 5.8% growth, the report said. Google Shopping grew 13.2%, and other third-party marketplaces (grouping of marketplaces excluding Amazon and eBay such as Best Buy, Newegg and Sears) grew 16.2%.
