English term

verkkokauppias OR verkkokauppa

Non-PRO English to Finnish Marketing Advertising / Public Relations Online retailer (like Amazon)
If you were referring to Amazon (without mentioning the brand) which one is most suitable verkkokauppias OR verkkokauppa ?

What about the world's largest on-line retailer

Entä maailman suurin verkkokauppias OR Entä maailman suurin verkkokauppa

I would appreciate any help in clarifying this slight difference.

verkkokauppa

Mielestäni verkkokauppa koska siellä on itsenäisiä kauppiaita myymässä amazonin "omien tuotteiden" lisäksi.

They sell their own product yes, so you are not totally wrong calling them a retailer. But in this instance I would use word verkkokauppa.

Kauppias refers to a person.
Note from asker:
But they also sell their own products so they are a retailer as well? Or am I completely wrong here?
