Amazon Doing What It Does Best

[kmmcrafts]

Putting the small guy out... This is partly why I don't shop on Amazon...  Being a seller on their platform I see the inside view of what happens to it's sellers.. They don't care about their sellers one bit.. Be funny if all the sellers would drop Amazon and move to some other place.. But they won't because Amazon is a big giant and they have a huge customer base.. I don't have many items on my Amazon store page and don't try selling there very hard..just enough to be in the know of how to run their platform....   It's a in for me if something should happen to my Etsy shop... I'd be able to slide right into selling on Amazon instead of going out of business.. Just a back-up plan.. LOL  I despise a lot of the things they do.. and you can clearly see they're trying to rule the eCommerce world.. Maybe a good thing I'm in with them.. they may put everyone out of business and I'll have to sell there, LOL

What gets me with shipping and these companies is.. 

I order my office and some mailing supplies from Staples.. They have shipping options to choose from.. They have a FREE one day shipping.. OR.. I can pay $6 for 5-7 day shipping.. Duh.. what you think I'm going to do there, LOL

My friend sells records and tapes among other things and says Amazon is the one making money not him.

Ive heard this from other sellers -Amazon makes the money

sounds like walmart -they actually tell many of their vendors what their going to pay

for each and every item -

 -with little or no profit .

Checking amazon , their's not allot of honest handmade American stuff -
