I class the big 3 as being:-

Amazon
Ebay
Etsy

Anyone care to share?

Would like to extend reach outside of own site - thabks
Real tricky one this as I wouldn't class any of the three you mentioned being marketing platforms. Marketplaces - yes

It depends your area of business and what you are trying to achieve. I think the list given by @FreddyG is pretty comprehensive. If you are in a distinct category then you could look on a tool to help you find these, with refinement of prompts, ChatGPT can help.

If you have some more detail I am happy to try to help if I can based on my own experiences.

Thanks

I class these as selling platforms, but would consider much of the cost as a marketing expense!
