Yes - some of the complaints seem legitimate (e.g. burying search results really far low - that hurts me as a buyer, and hurts the seller).
But complaining that you need to use Amazon's warehouses to be part of Prime? That's rather obvious! You can always sell as non-Prime. Many do and are successful at it!
Basically, Amazon allowed many businesses to exist by creating a very convenient way to sell. Chances are a lot of businesses selling on Prime who are complaining would not have been able to exist at all.

- BeetleB 3y agoDid not know about it - is it new? Wonder what additional fees are associated with it.
- sokoloff 3y agoLaunched 2015 (but I think launched with literally 3 fulfillers, then expanded).
- toasterlovin 3y agoIt's not new, but admission to the program has been unofficially paused for years. They just announced in the last few weeks that they're relaunching the program.
