I used to sell products on Amazon a decade ago and they were still pulling the same tricks. I would sell products that had absolutely no listings in for months (I was the first one). Within a week or two, a listing would popup for Amazon at a cheaper cost and I would instantly lose sales...until they were gone for good. I also still can't figure out why I was banned forever (I still can't create a seller account to this day and nobody at Amazon will help me) because of one customer complaint (I had 100% feedback before this). Yet, there are counterfeiters from China and India that continue to sell their goods on Amazon with impunity. It's also pretty scary that as a seller, Amazon can and just use your selling data to compete against you and most likely always get a cheaper rate than you because they have deeper pockets. Selling on Amazon may bring you some temporary cash, but will destroy your business in the long-run.
