No they shouldnt, that is anti-competitive. Grocery store shelf placement is paid for my brands. If Kirkland pays for better placement they get better placement. Not just because they are the inhouse brand.
- basch 7y agoWhen did stores start having to treat all the products they sell equally?
- ProAm 7y agoThey never have, but grocery stores also do not prevent you from selling your product for cheaper elsewhere.
- jersey 7y agoDoes Amazon prevent you from selling on other platforms if you sell on Amazon?
- uoaei 7y agoHave you ever heard the term "monopoly"? They do by soft power -- leveraging their position in the market to make the alternatives completely unprofitable, thus literally preventing you from selling on other platforms.
- basch 7y agothe word monopoly gets mistakenly used in place of anti-competitive all the time. Are you describing predatory pricing? Where they sell at a loss to put competition out of business or to grow faster? Or are you trying to say its not profitable to sell on ebay or shopify instead of amazon? Amazon using its scale to clone products and sell them with low margins, in an effort to prevent competition from springing up is anti-competitive, but its not them being a monopoly.
- uoaei 7y agoI'm using the word more in a literal sense than a legal one. All I mean is the e-commerce space is becoming increasingly "monopolar" due to Amazon's activities.
- ProAm 7y agoThey state you cannot sell your product anywhere for cheaper than Amazon.
