Why Portlazon

Replace at least some of your Amazon and Etsy shopping with local shopping that actually means something.

Portlazon is trying to make the convenient choice and the community-minded choice overlap more often. The point is not perfection. The point is giving PNW buyers a place where more of the story, margin, and relationship can stay closer to home.

The short version

Big marketplaces optimize for scale. Portlazon is trying to optimize for regional businesses, regional identity, and actual neighbor-to-neighbor commerce.

Amazon reality

50.03%

of Amazon’s global active seller base is now China-based.

Marketplace Pulse says Chinese sellers now make up a majority of Amazon’s global active seller base, and more than 70% of all product on the platform comes from China too. Talk about a carbon footprint! That is a very different model from deliberately buying from people in your own region.

Amazon fee stack

Predatory referral fees

Roughly $40/ month is the baseline before FBA, storage, and ad costs even enter the picture.

Amazon’s own seller pricing shows a $39.99 monthly professional plan, plus standard selling fees. For many categories, referral fees are commonly around 8% to 15%, and that is before optional but often important layers like FBA, storage, or ad spend. That pressure still lands on seller margin, product price, or both.

Why local matters

2 out of 3

new jobs are created by small businesses.

That SBA figure is a good reminder of what shopping small is actually backing. When more spending stays with independent businesses, more of the upside can stay close. That means better schools and roads, more money for local payroll, households, suppliers, and neighborhoods too.
