Yeah and it's because of people like me.
When there are 2 items, both pretty much the same, if not from the same factory. If one is sold directly by amazon then I'd pick that one over the third party. Why? It's so much easier to get a replacement/refund/return with amazon than third party sellers.
If third parties are all selling the same thing then amazon can probably make more profit than the third party as well, so that's why amazon will also do it.
Now I do wish Amazon would pay more tax etc etc, but people like me make it easy for them to operate and do things like this.

- mytailorisrich 6y agoAmazon wins based on a superior product. I tend to behave like niffydroid for the same reson. From experience Amazon offers a superior experience and a superior service so that, everything being more or less equal, purchasing from Amazon is the safer option. This applied both when choosing among vendors on Amazon, and when choosing a marketplace website. Amazon my be blamed for many things, but not for delivering one of the best delivery and customer service.
- JAlexoid 6y agoThat's a bit different. You are making a decision based on services associated with the product, rather than "this one looks identical and is $2 cheaper". Which is a valid differentiator. But in the end it's not even about that. It's about Amazon not having to go through the cost of marketing(product development, placement, market analysis, etc) to then kick someone that did all of this.
