online marketplace
Internet shopping platform
An online marketplace is a website or app where multiple sellers offer goods or services to buyers—a digital bazaar.
Amazon, eBay, and Etsy are online marketplaces; so are platforms for services like Uber and Airbnb.
The marketplace operator typically takes a commission on transactions rather than holding inventory.
