Comment on Resistance Against Large Corporations is Competition
psion1369@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoDid you know that Amazon charges fees to sell on their site? When people buy products on Amazon, the company makes nothing. The third-party seller has paid a fee to sell on Amazon, a fee for Amazon to store the product each month, and then a fee once it sells to cover the Prime shipping costs the buyer thinks is free. There is no loss. If the third-party sellers, who usually are small businesses duped into thinking this is the best way, would pull out, that is the real money loss for Amazon.

Yeah, but that’s because they have no competition now. If you start your own business that’s anywhere close to being a threat to them, they’ll start lowering their fees until you physically can’t compete.

Which fees will get lowered? Prime? The sellers still have to pay fees to cover it. Amazon won’t care unless the people who are actually paying for everything leave. Be an example and start competing. Doesn’t even need to be a business that sells stuff to compete. Start a blog with talking about sites to buy everything outside of Amazon and Walmart.
