Amazons neuester Seller Squeeze. Eine umstrittene Richtlinie würde Verkäufern faktisch Gebühren in Rechnung stellen, wenn das Logistikteam von Amazon ihre Waren verliert oder beschädigt. Es könnte Amazon ermöglichen, Konkurrenten mit seinen eigenen Marken zu unterbieten.

I can’t help but feel that 50 years from now we will look back and there will be one retailer left. And workers will pay Amazon to work there.
I’m sure this would be illegal, at least here in Britain.
Amazon has always undercut “rivals” (brands and resellers on the platform) by retroactively reserving the right to sublicense and/or reproduce the IP of any product listed on its Third-Party Marketplace.
Boycott Amazon.
Note for r/technology subscribers: this is an actual example of enshittification that Doctorow described.
Not companies just increasing prices, not workers being paid an ever smaller share of the pie, not the existence of capitalism in general.
This is textbook enshittification and not dissimilar to the event which trigger the writing of that article which coined the term.
I hope to see people using it correctly now that they’ve actually seen it in action.
Is they why 2/3 of my orders have been delayed since about October? ETA (Not October ones still delayed, it’s usually 1-3 days, but it’s been a lot since then)
Sure wish we had an SEC. Good thing Trump wants to give our constitutionally defined postal service over to Jeff Bezos.
You can sell stuff or you can be a platform for others to sell stuff, you can’t be both without a conflict of interest
How is this any different than Walmart charging vendors for lost or stolen product?
