> Those sellers are effectively saying that Amazon dictates what happens on shopping sites all over the internet, and in doing so makes products more expensive for all of us.
- jessaustin 5y agoI would have liked more detail on how this process works. Amazon can't very well punish Store A for the actions of undetectably-identically-owned Store B. Yet somehow the "Buy Box" has some magic way of detecting that? Maybe Amazon just has really good investigators, and they've made it clear that when they catch you, you're dead, and they'll deny the retribution by blaming opaque "Buy Box" algorithms.
