Small business owners say Amazon is selling their products without permission - sh.itjust.works

“I typed in YamzWorld into the Amazon app and lo and behold there were all my products there with my pictures from my website as well,” Montes-Tarazas said. While he receives payment for sales, Montes-Tarazas said the arrangement strips away his ability to build direct customer relationships. “I do get the sale and I do get the money, but customers never get to interact with my website, they have no ability to sign up for my mailing list. They have no idea who I am as an artist or what I stand for,” Montes-Tarazas said.

I have been trying to break my Amzon Addiction for years. This did it.

Try eBay. You’re much more likely to find a small business selling whatever widget you need.

Ebay is owned by paypal and do the same shenanigans. I highly recommend to avoid ebay as well. Use these places so you can go direct to the artist or product provider if you can.

Ebay is a tricky one for me. I’m an electrician that services a lot of very old equipment, and sometimes eBay is the only place I can find oddball parts for a piece of switchgear that’s 100 years old.

Yeah, sometimes it can’t be helped. I should have said avoid as much as possible.
