FTC is preparing antitrust probe on Amazon over Prime bundling. Looks like Amazon Prime missed a Protection Payment. (archive.ph)

Amazon fixes prices by making resellers "guess" a price that does not violate their Pricing Policy i.e. a price higher than their own listing or the listings of favored power sellers. You literally get the listing taken down until you "fix" it but it never tells you what price will be acceptable, never confirms you got it "right". Sometimes it targets particular accounts by forcing this price to be not just above those offered by favored sellers but higher than literally any other seller.

Anyway, price fixing in a market is highly illegal. Obscuring the specific price that Amazon is fixing your item to does not change the fact that Amazon is fixing the price of the item. They are legally liable. However, justice in the west is hebre- I mean, fake and gay.

It is along the lines of social media websites making you delete your own post to unlock your account.

Amazon's service is full of holes in reseller and customer satisfaction that a smart competitor could seize on to take a bite out of them. If Mike Lindell wasn't such a spaz he could have done it.

(this is aside from the legal issues I agree they needed to be brought to court over long ago)

About their problems or Mike Lindell being a spaz? For the first one I could give you a list of problems me and others have complained about but you already mentioned one. About Mike Lindell, he claimed he was starting a new online store to compete with Amazon, and it turned out to be a shitty extension to MyPillow.com with a few extra merchants. He has enough money to hire competent employees and focus on stuff like that instead of letting himself become a patsy for the deep state.

I meant about ways savvy merchants are getting a leg over Amazon

Amazon has been having a lot of problems lately. A bunch of HR and higher ups have been let go, and there was a news article out that a bunch of warehouses got fined for unsafe conditions.
