Too Long; Didn't Read
Amazon's monopoly control extends to the suppression of price competition, ultimately resulting in higher prices for consumers. Through its price-surveillance team, contractual obligations, and penalties, Amazon punishes sellers offering lower prices elsewhere and discourages rivals from undercutting Amazon's prices. This stifling of price competition leaves competitors unable to gain scale and shoppers conditioned not to seek lower prices off Amazon. As a result, Amazon's monopolistic practices keep prices elevated in relevant markets.
