    Since opening the Amazon Seller account in 2010, we paid Amazon Fees 15% in the region of £ 4.2 million… in October 2014 Amazon “removed our selling privileges” and asked to send invoices for our finest best selling products on Amazon, we sent the invoices, In 2015 identical products started to appear on Amazon, little did Amazon know, our products Including our brands are fully protected and registered trade marks… We sent the evidence to Amazon and requested immediate removal of the copied product, Amazon took no action…. We opened a Court case agains Amazon, they removed the copied products they had copied from Baby Travel. Only Court action and irrefutable evidence made Amazon remove the FAKE products branded “AmzDeal”
    In April 2020, Amazon requested the same information again, they want to know the names of our Factories, detailed business insights and detailed invoices… We told Amazon, we can only share such data via Trading Standards …. Amazon closed our account again…. they simply closed a legitimate British Business, and they are happy to support foreign sellers who sell products to the British public that do NOT comply with British safety Standards… Our account remains closed as we are terrified of Amazon’s business practices.

    the easiest and most obvious solution is 'volunteering' bezos for the waposts egg statue oort cloud 1 way mission ride. to verify the theory although it would not be confirmed or disproven for perhaps in excess of 30 thousand years give or take 10. the only other way to resolve the abuse is to make an omelette and pay a rather pricey excess of tax to keep everyone happy.

    why are european countries the ones with the balls to attack the big corporations and demand a fairer relationship between them and consumers? meanwhile in america, we have leaders that just bend over and give them everything they want, even tax loopholes to stash untaxed profits offshore. no wonder globalism is on the chopping block
