just got this blah blah blah email:
Hello,
Yesterday, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) filed a lawsuit against Amazon alleging that some of our business practices violate antitrust laws. As your partners, we know that this news may generate questions for you and our business together. This lawsuit does not change anything about our relationship with you or how we operate today. The lawsuit represents the FTC's allegations, which must be reviewed by a court to determine if any of the claims have merit.
While we respect the role the FTC has historically played in protecting consumers and promoting competition, we fundamentally disagree with the FTC's allegations. In order to demonstrate how the FTC's case could impact consumers and businesses that sell in our store, we published a blog post on AboutAmazon (https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/company-news/amazon-ftc-antitrust-lawsuit-full-response) to address some key areas of the FTC's complaint and explain how Amazon's pro-competitive model actually works. Accordingly, we will contest this lawsuit and we will also continue inventing to put our customers—both consumers and the businesses that sell in our store—first.
Our commitment to you and your success is unchanging. We remain focused on innovating and investing in tools and services to grow your business. Thank you for choosing to sell in our store.
