Amazon is probably doing some unfair or even illegal things.
But if your business is buying something from supplier X, adding no value at all and selling it on ecommerce site Y, then it makes perfect economic sense for either of X to sell to Y without you or Y to buy from X without you.
It's in the consumers interest for that to happen. The only situation where this wouldn't happen is if volume is too low, in which case you're adding some value by aggregating demand across a few channels.
- LapsangGuzzler 3y agoThis a perfect situation for cheap knockoffs to proliferate though. My dad wanted a Theragun and bought one on Amazon. He thought he got a deal and it looked just like a Theragun until it arrived and he saw the cheap power connectors and no external battery. Amazon is more than happy for cheap knockoffs to spread and rip people off by gaming thr product search system. Sure, middlemen are being cut out, but in many cases, so is the previously trusted vendor.
