Amazon and Ebay are the world’s two most-shopped e-commerce sites according to data from internet and cybersecurity company Cloudflare.

In the company’s review of last year, it said the US services in the top 10 “faced tough competition” from China-based services including Taobao in third place, Alibaba in fifth, and AliExpress in sixth.

The top 10 e-commerce sites globally in 2022 were:

• 1 Amazon
• 2 Ebay
• 3 Taobao
• 4 Shopify
• 5 Alibaba
• 6 AliExpress
• 7 Home Depot
• 8 Rakuten
• 9 Walmart
• 10= Mercado Livre and Shein

This data comes from Cloudflare Radar, a tool that allows anyone to view global trends and insights across the internet. 

Cloudflare also found that Google was the most popular online service of the year, ahead of Facebook, Apple and TikTok (tied at third) and YouTube.
