AMAZON.COM Inc said Prime Day sales from third-party merchants surged 30 per cent compared with a year earlier, fuelled largely by international demand.
While US sales appeared to start slowly on Tuesday, hampered by technical glitches, the world's largest e-commerce company built momentum on the summertime promotion it created last year to entice shoppers to subscribe to its US$99-a-year Amazon Prime membership.
