Analysis
German shoppers who use price-comparison portals (idealo, Check24, Geizhals, and peers) six or more times a month have a median Amazon.de order value of €20.79 — 5.2% below the €21.94 median of shoppers who never visit a comparison site. The gap is small but the confidence bands barely overlap, making it a real, if modest, behavioral signal.
Intensive Price Comparers Aren't Bargain Hunters — They Buy More
The discount browsing effect on basket size vanishes when total monthly spend enters the frame. Heavy price-comparers place a median of 4 Amazon orders per month against 3 for non-comparers, and their median monthly Amazon spend (€127.69) is 32% higher than non-comparers (€96.97). The profile that emerges is not a thrifty shopper stretching a tight budget — it is a high-frequency buyer who sources smaller, more price-optimized items. For marketers targeting Germany's price-savvy online retail segment, this means price-comparison reach signals volume appetite, not wallet constraint. The age-cohort analysis shows where the basket gap is actually concentrated.

Methodology
For each shopper-month, the median Amazon.de physical order value was calculated and grouped by the number of price-comparison site visits in the same month: none, light (1–5 visits), and heavy (6+ visits). Orders above €1,000 were excluded to limit the influence of outlier purchases. The analysis covers physical orders on the German Amazon marketplace from January 2025 through April 2026. Price-comparison visits include idealo, Check24, Geizhals, Billiger, Guenstiger, and Preisvergleich.de.
