Amazon Marketplace

Amazon is a cunt. It’s now started restricting private individuals re-selling certain DVD titles on its “Marketplace” – even when their Seller Account is in good standing – the official line is that they want to reduce the number of counterfeit goods listed on Amazon Marketplace so that customers can trust Amazon…

Personally I think clamping down on the vast quantities of counterfeit electronic/computer peripherals originating from China would be a better way of Amazon increasing trust, rather than penalising private individuals who are just wanting to move on a DVD box set that they’ll never watch again. Paying the proper rate of tax would also help these lying, scumbag cunts win back public trust and confidence.

It’s obvious that far from being overly concerned about counterfeits, the wholesalers are seeing their sales fall as customers prefer to choose more reasonably priced second-hand titles and it’s probably the wholesalers who are twisting Amazon’s arm. It’s interesting that the particular box set I’ve been banned from re-selling has NO second-hand copies available on Amazon Marketplace at all, but lots of third party sellers offering it for the same price as Amazon – or considerably more.

Counterfeits, my arse. This is all about profits which should come as no surprise from a bunch of tax-avoiding cunts.
