I bet if you went and talked to people if they were comfortable with all of their online banking being routed through Amazon...I suspect most would say No. Just a guess. If you put it in terms they understand, they care.

This is false in Amazon's case. Amazon sells you a rake made by a 3rd party who was put into FBA by a wholesaler and makes a reasonable cut of the profit in the process. Amazon has more control but also takes all the blame when things

You think 25% more expensive is a "comparable price"? I think we'll have to disagree on that. ;) Similarly, the "hefty markup" at my local grocery store is....drum roll please...the same price I pay at the store. Si

1) People irrationally believing in Uber's ability to expand. 2) There was a reason a large number of potential investors dropped out at around the 10bil market.
