How is it stifling competition to say "If you want access to our marketplace, you can't charge a premium"?

Not that I have any insider information but from what I read above I assume (perhaps incorrectly, please correct me if I am incorrect) that these agreements only apply to "ships from and sold by" and "ships from" Amazon.com.
