Why would a retailer turn down an additional resource that drives customers to their site?
Amazon also rolled out a “Buy for Me” feature last year that surfaces products from other brands’ websites and lets shoppers complete purchases without leaving the Amazon app.
amazons whole business plan is undercutting popular items by contacting suppliers/manufacturers behind the scenes to capture any new trends, you either have to have a very strong moat/control of your suppliers etc. or you will get boxed out by cheaper amazon brand eventually.
It sounds like it would be very easy for them to never know with this system.
Amazon seems to have jumped in as a middle man and will automatically complete the purchase on the site seemingly forwarding the item itself to the initial purchaser. They’re basically just creating an invisible front end for other peoples stores and absorbing it into the main amazon interface.
It’s like the skievier part of DoorDash listings, where they’d list restaurants that weren’t on the platform, make deliveries for them and send angry customers to them when DoorDash fucked it up.

Ah, that’s why.
Why would independent artisans be obligated to sell their products through Amazon?
cause it’s a monopoly?, and that’s how they work?
