I just found out that Amazon HAS ALREADY BEEN SUED BY THE FTC!! However, the case has not yet been decided, knowing how this kind of litigation works, the case could potentially go on for years. This does not help the current customers who have been hurt my Amazon, but whatever happens will effect the future customers and it is certainly worth it for the government to pursue the case to the fullest extent possible. The main Case is currently going on in the US Dist Court, Western District of Washington. case 2:23 cv-01495-JHC, there are related cases going on in other Courts but I think this is the most important one and if you look up this case it will reference the ohter cases that are pending against Amazon.
Sorry but I did not think that this posting cite was a place to sell investment products. I do very well in the investment area, I do not need your advise on investments. Elena
I am not an expert on Anti Trust law in the USA however, it seems what you are describing what Amazon is doing would be a violation of the USA anti trust laws which purpose is to prevent companies whose practices constitute a "restraint of trade". While the law would only apply to purchases by people who reside in the USA and perhaps US citizens who live abroad, it still would be a important tool to prevent Amazon from doing the practice you are describing. Why has no one in the US government's anti trust department at least made a claim against Amazon for restraint of Trade, which could be prosecuted at least whether or not the government's position prevails?
My first thought was also that the Amazon seller restriction described within was cut-and-dried totally illegal anti-competitive behavior. Why hasn’t this been investigated?
Also a private party may have the right to enforce a prohibition of Amazon's restraint of trade practices, if the government refuses to do so. Someone should look into this as well.

Click the Cory Doctorow link. He has a great explanation.

I didn’t get my wedding invite with my prime membership … only ads.
That definitely sounds legit and not at all a scam.
I don't buy from Amazon because I find their business practices unethical. Now I do all my online shopping at the Ku Klux Klan Store.
