Cool, so now you can take a breath and read this article from 6 days ago:

B2B sales?the product category referred to as Business & Industrial, or B&I?are also giving Amazon?s and eBay?s own online retail sales stiff competition as the source of the top growth rate in sales, says Scot Wingo, CEO of ChannelAdvisor Corp., which helps online companies sell through Amazon, eBay and other e-marketplaces.
EBay Inc. no longer breaks out B&I growth rates, but in the fourth quarter of last year it noted that B&I sales were growing at an annual clip of 17%, compared with 12% overall for eBay.com, Wingo says. Although Amazon hasn?t broken out similar numbers, he figures that total B2B sales at AmazonSupply.com and Amazon.com are growing at rate the same or higher than Amazon.com?s overall sales. ?My educated guess would be, with Amazon growing overall in the mid-20?s, B2B there is growing in the 25% to 35% range,? he says. EBay and Amazon did not immediately return calls for comment.

Amazon's yearly b2b sales are in the $ 10s of billions and growing 25%+ per year.
Again, 3d printing will be a game changer for Amazon.
