Gross Commodity Value (GMV) is the total value of merchandise sold during a particular period through a customer-to-customer (C2C) exchange site. This is a measure of the business’s growth or the use of the site to sell products owned by others. Gross Commodity Value (GMV) is often used to determine the health of an e-commerce site’s business. This is because the revenue is a function of the total goods sold and the charges charged. This is the most useful measure of comparison over time such as the current quarterly value compared to the previous quarterly value. GMV is also called gross merchandise volume. Both of them show the total monetary value of total sales.

Overstockcom’s retail gross merchandise sales increased from $1.83 billion to $3.20 billion in a year, marking a huge incline of 74.86% ($1.37 billion).
