Amazon wants to control third-party sellers’ product pricing
Once again a click-bait headline that misses why these companies domination continues to grow.<p>First - a link to actual FAQ:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;FulfillmentByAmazon&#x2F;comments&#x2F;cl7jll&#x2F;sold_by_amazon_sba_faq&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;FulfillmentByAmazon&#x2F;comments&#x2F;cl7jll...</a><p>Second:<p>This is an OPT-IN offer to sellers who want it.<p>Third:<p>Amazon will be seller of record. That means Amazon will handle all sales tax issues. That alone is a big win.<p>Amazon is handling all return costs (huh?). So in short run until that changes another win.<p>Amazon probably thinks they can do a better job pricing products than sellers, increasing the cut for both parties potentially. I&#x27;ll let reader decide if amazon has any skills in pricing.<p>This continues a trend towards automation that amazon has adopted when they think computers can do (on average) a better job than people.<p>If this is a stupid idea, ebay won&#x27;t copy it. If it isn&#x27;t a stupid idea - look for SBE (sold by Ebay) in the future :)
