Hello,
I read an article about Amazon's FBA program.
["FBA" = "Fullfilled By Amazon"]
It goes like this : People buy cheap stuff from somewhere in the world, for example from China, and let the complete handling be done via Amazon.
They can choose whateverthename as a pseudo brand, and sell the stuff no matter what quality.
The only thing they *must* do is, to put that stuff into a warehouse of Amazon.
My source is this article : https://www.tagesschau.de/investigativ/panorama/amazon-tricks-markenprodukte-101.html
This article links to more detailed articles, like this one :

and this overview :
https://www.marketplacepulse.com/articles/amazon-gmv-in-2020
In short : It's a business game already : Buy cheap from somewhere, put it into an Amazon warehouse, and let do Amazon the full handling. Seller & Amazon both profit from this business game - it looks as if its core was almost modelled after economy games, which are, for example, available for the PC platform …
The only ones at danger are the buyers. But nobody cares for them, from a business perspective.
