> If your only work is buying stuff wholesale and boxing it up and sending it to Amazon then you, frankly, don't deserve much profit for a few hours of monkey level work. This line needs to stop - it's flat wrong. It's not monkey level work - and it's exactly how the entire manufacturer-distributor-wholesaler-retailer relationship has always existed, and it brings obvious significant value to the entire chain, all the way down to you, the customer. The only difference is the end customer is now more aware, or thinks they're aware, of the chain. Nothing has changed - and it's not going to change. There's too many things and doodads out there in the world that people want to buy for any single company to procure and manage them all.
