What I find interesting and somewhat unfair is the practice of allowing Amazon marketplace resellers to list every product of every other brand (even Costco snd Target house brands) EXCEPT Amazon brands.
So really every other brand has to contend with counterfeit or at least pricing arbitraged products being listed against their brand on Amazon, except Amazon.
That seems to give Amazon a monopoly driven upper hand and is materially different from what other marketplace platform players are doing.
To be a fair and transparent marketplace platform and avoid anti-trust litigation - Amazon should be allow resellers to price gouge and counterfeit Amazon brands as well.
