Good job Amazon!!!
RL15 Good Job Amazon? I would like to see the stats for the millions more of sales YOU did not get. If you every complaint about taxes, Amazon is an extra layer of undesired payments for everyone, at at least 15% more. Amazon is now taking 50% of the entire ecommerce business, in some industries as much as 60%, but how much is a monopoly is not a question now, today is: Good Job Amazon!!!!
@thehost
I have never had any issues buying or selling on Amazon.
after reading your reply, Let me rephrase, GREAT job Amazon!!
I think the key word here is “worldwide”. Remember how eBay used to tout worldwide numbers, even as their US sales were declining?
All I can say is that this has been BY FAR the worst holiday season we’ve ever seen on Amazon, and judging from comments on their forums, we’re not alone. Probably at least some of this is due to increased market saturation, but still, there must be more to a drop this sharp.
