Amazon is about to be investigated! Is this a good opportunity for third-party sellers?

Amazon has recently been involved in a very tricky matter. The House Judiciary Committee is planning to file a criminal lawsuit against Amazon, accusing Amazon of obstructing the antitrust team from collecting evidence and providing false information on issues related to the treatment of third-party sellers!

Internal communication emails obtained by the media show that the House Judiciary Committee is collecting information about Amazon's refusal to hand over antitrust investigation information. At the same time, when investigating the platform's treatment of third-party sellers, the investigation team can only get false information from Amazon in an attempt to obstruct the 16-month antitrust investigation.

The investigation team said that throughout the investigation and subsequent investigations, Amazon's senior management adopted misleading statements and practices when collecting evidence, which interfered with the work of the investigation team. The investigation team also found that Amazon used the sales data of third-party sellers to develop its own products and adjusted the A9 algorithm to display its own products before third-party products.

The antitrust investigation Amazon is facing has already gone through more than half of the process, and the investigation team has released more and more negative news and evidence, mainly accusing Amazon of using sellers' data to compete with sellers, and using its monopoly position to force sellers and surrounding service providers to choose only Amazon. These are all investigations and evidence collection on the treatment of our third-party sellers. If sanctions are really imposed, it will definitely be a great benefit to our sellers. Amazon's opportunities this year are still relatively clear, and everyone should seize the opportunity and make early arrangements to prepare for this window of opportunity!
