I really don't like Amazon. Why?<p>They treat marketplace sellers like garbage and they make up 30%+ of their yearly profits.<p>Customer is king, which means that if they file an A-Z claim (Amazon's dispute system), they win in 99.9% of the time. The customer gets a refund and gets to keep your product.<p>You are required to have a 30-day return policy (which is perfectly fine), but if a customer wants to return something 6 months after they purchased it, they will win an A-Z claim if they file it.<p>I know a seller that lost a claim a year after the fact. I can't imagine Best buy accepting a return on a book a year after it was purchased. Amazon doesn't even do this themselves.<p>They've taken the Google approach and run their entire seller help center using automated responses with nobody actually on the other end.<p>It's sickening that they can keep this position. They treat their workers and sellers worse than anyone, yet people just don't seem to care.<p>Ebay, with all of their problems, is actually much better. They are much more fair to their sellers.
