Amazon price rules anti-competitive: German regulator
Germany's Federal Cartel Office has accused Amazon of abusing its market power by imposing pricing rules on third-party sellers. The regulator believes Amazon's price limits, which penalize sellers who don't comply, are anti-competitive, especially when sellers can't cover costs. Amazon, controlling 60 per cent of Germany's online retail, disputes the findings, claiming its rules ensure customers get the best deals.
