As they should. Amazon should have no ability to dictate that an item isn't cheaper on a company's own property (digital or physical retail) than on Amazon's site.
I helped a buddy build out his brand in the US, and we listed on Amazon as well as our own website. They take a big cut of everything and still demand that we essentially lose additional margin by not allowing us to set our own price on our own website.
- tantalor 4y ago> Amazon should have no ability to dictate Well, in a perfect world a marketplace like Amazon should be able to do whatever they want, and if the merchants & customers don't like it they can take their business somewhere else. Market forces, consumer choice, etc. Except in this case, Amazon has basically made that impossible with their illegal monopolization of e-commerce.
- dh2022 4y agoHow is Amazon a monopoly of e-commerce? Target.com / Walmart.com are competitors backed by giant retailers...
- NickC25 4y agoExactly. Like it or not, they're a monopoly - they need to be regulated like one. Not only are they a monopoly, they can run the entire Amazon storefront at a huge loss due to how profitable AWS is. This $ delta allows them to engage in some incredibly (unethical/anti-competitive/anti-consumer) practices.
