They do not have the international scale of Amazon. Walmart is non-existent in a lot of countries.


So? It's not like there's no online retail in those countries. Amazon is fighting the good fight against local retailers which will thrive until a 'replacement' comes along. I'm pretty sure Europe will not miss Amazon that much (not as much as the USA).

I just searched for how much does Amazon sell outside of North America (which granted, includes Canada and Mexico) and it was about 40%[1].
