That surprised me. I always try to buy from the manufacturer's website or official reseller rather than Amazon to avoid such bullshit. Apparently that's not enough.
If brands selling on Amazon are overpriced, everywhere, could favoring brands that do NOT sell on Amazon help find products with a fair price?
Interesting. Not selling your stuff on amazon could possibly be a selling point for a new business.
I doubt "Not on Amazon" would be a selling point. If merchant have put up with it this far, it's probably because Amazon bring sales.
If leaving allow selling at a lower price, that would definitely be a selling point. But they would need a solid online store, their own or another markeplace.
