Weird article, kinda like a pick-n-choose game. Amazon does control 50% of e-commerce. And yes it uses merchants to get there, while charging them a nice fee.

Weird article, kinda like a pick-n-choose game. Amazon does control 50% of e-commerce. And yes it uses merchants to get there, while charging them a nice fee. And does it really ,fairly compete with merchants, while having full control(owning the buy box and the "sold by Amazon" brand) , full visibility into their business, and much better capabilities ? Or instead of competition , they just let merchants carry the risks of the import business ?
