Top 10 Online Stores By Volume

People in my work and social circles are often asking me who the top 10 online stores are (and how much they sell). That's a tough question to answer because the reported numbers are often voluntary. Furthermore, the Internet Retailer Guide has only been available for a few years - and it's not free.
