> Once it achieved monopoly power, Amazon squeezed on price through fees to third-party sellers. As a third-party seller, you pay fees for listing on Amazon; for using Amazon’s warehouse services, known as Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA); and for advertising services. If you don’t pay, you don’t get put in a place on the site where consumers click.
So consumers get free shipping that is mostly paid for by third party sellers because it gives them access to a massive customer base. I dont see the problem?

- mountainofdeath 3y agoFBA de-risks the transaction for Amazon and the vendor. You sell a known quantity with a known delivery window. Small businesses often struggle with this and criminals use this to their advantage. If eBay/non-FBA is a flea market, FBA is a online mall.
