This blog doesn’t have dates for the articles in it, is it by design or is it a visualization error ?
Time dates for articles are important.

In reply to Anwar Aziz. It shouldn't have indirect access any more than any other entity, and if it did it would be a bigger foul than what they're doing now.

In reply to Ramesh Garg. Unless the new entity would not be viable on its own as it's a loss leader for Amazon the marketplace.

I think Amazon should create a separate entity of its own private label brands by spinning off from its retail platform. This entity can, then, then raise capital on its own from the market by floating its own stock and bonds. Current stockholders will get a piece of ownership into this entity. This will enhance the value of their stock holding in Amazon. This would also satisfy the legislature as well as the third party sellers. This may be a win-win solution rather than contacting the third party sellers.

I personally think this legislation could potentially be good for sellers, by slightly reduce the current unlimited power Amazon has. However I’m not sure if the “new” Amazon entity won’t have indirect access to the data or loose the current advantages (access to data, marketing/ads).
Nice one Dave!
Thanks

In reply to Michael Shackelford. Definitely it's a bit tone-deaf reaching out to sellers about Amazon's private label brands. Even if you don't have Amazon competing against you on a product, most people in the seller community know someone who has been victimized from one of Amazon's brands.

Nobody is calling Amazon’s bluff on this. It’s laughable when they act like they are defending businesses other than their own, just like when they send endless emails trying to get you to spend more on advertising to increase YOUR sales. Thanks for writing about it Dave.
