LAS VEGAS: Amazon.com Inc is making a push for merchants on its website to sell goods into other countries, setting the stage for greater competition with rival marketplaces run by eBay Inc and potentially Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

More than a quarter of all revenue for sellers on Amazon globally was from cross-border transactions in 2017, up more than 50% from the year prior, Amazon vice-president Eric Broussard said in an interview, ahead of his Tuesday speech at the ShopTalk conference in Las Vegas.
