How Amazon is monopolizing the market in the UK/EU & US?

In this Article

One of our sellers recently sends us the screenshot of how Amazon has stopped them from selling the product of the well-known brand which they are buying from the authorized distributor for over 7 years and always sold on Amazon without any issue and they have even provided the invoices directly from the supplier to Amazon in the past when there is an issue.

So why Amazon doing this to its sellers ?

There are multiple reasons for Amazon to take this action

  1. Amazon wants to capitalise on the brand and does not want other sellers to make more profit ! ( Its not a rocket scienece! )
  2. Amazon is trying to monopolise the market by getting all the brands to signup with their programme which prohibits brands to sell to any other retailers ( Who gives a damm about local laws ! yeahhh.. )
  3. Amazon knows very well that third party sellers completely dependant on their system and they have already signed a million word TOS contract which prohibits them from taking Amazon to court ( Yes, You read that right.. My way or High-way ! )
  4. Amazon has lobbying the government with their representative who keeps a close tab on all politician and others big players and always keep them in check ! ( whooaaahhhhh… is this even real ? )

Amazon send the email like below to its seller and gives a deadline to comply !

How to appeal this decision ?

If you are in luck you may be able to contact a correct customer service representative who may have some idea about your problem and he will, of course, try to help you by saying that you can not appeal this and currently there is no action you can take!

So in simple words, in the world of Amazon, there is nothing you can do, If you are right, you just need to sit back and pray that some sane mind person read your email and then reply ( Of course, this is not going to happen !)

There are many consultant out there who can help you to reinstate your account but there is none who can help you to allow you to sell the product that is yours but Amazon removed you because Amazon thinks you can not make more money then Amazon themselves

However, Apart from that, Amazon is still considered a boon for many small businesses ( Until you become big and start earning more !! 😉
