  1. The way they can punish amazon for blocking thier sales or diverting people from the products during a dispute, is to ding them for failing to deliver as agreed, WHEN THE SELLERS ARE PAYING FOR SERVICES. Amazon is accepting payment for service, but blocking its fulfillment, breaking the terms. Maybe even also have the product held in amazon warehouse so it doesn't get sold anywhere else either.

  2. sites like amazon and ebay, shouldn't be allowed to have items imported from other nations sold on site, unless the products have been regulated and inspected by customs etc. But online sellers from overseas or who import from overseas, don't have thier products inspected at all. It just comes thru the mail, not in port entry containers.

  3. the thing about porch pirates though. Some of them are really just neighbors whose packages have been misdelivered to your door. so be careful what you claim as a crime. Check your deliveries that are due. The person might be taking thier own package off you r porch.

  4. Bezos is unworthy of his wealth. He will lose it . poor people order from amazon because they can't get to stores. So bezos is skimming a lot o fmoney off them with high prices, and fees. Then he uses his exploitative profits for idiotic things like " moon exploits " and space bullshhht. TOTALLY WASTEFUL. he doesn't use his profits and huge wealth for helping humans in the here and now, those who fill the sidewalks inhis hometown, in need to cheap housing that doesn' t exist. ETc he uses it for insane egotistical crap like competing with Elon Musk on space crap for no good reason. Very unethical and plain old wicked. Didn'the also dump his long time wife for some surgically altered floozie? thi s man is revealing his lack of good character.

  5. when rich people start being bad to the poor , that's when you know they are gonna crash and burn. This is what Bezos/ Amazon have been doing lately. It involves the fact they take SNAP ebt benefits for fresh foods. They do it quite badly and they have high prices as well. They only allow use of SNAP but don't allow use of ebt cash, which cuts out many disabled and elderly in the millions of needy people. Whole states full of people whose government gives ebt CASH INSTEAD OF SNAP. these people only buy from amazon because they can't get to stores . This is terrible abuse, deprivation and exploitation of the poorest and neediest.

  6. online terms of a commerce website shouldn't be allowed to coerce people into signing disadvantageous waivers of liablity for the site.

  7. so Amazon buys government regulator favor by providing endless consumer information behind our backs. they must be sharing our private and behavior info with them. that buys great influence in DC. Though it is an entire betrayal of our trust as customers, and should be illegal to share.
