The EU is intensifying competition scrutiny on Amazon over suspected pricing restrictions imposed on third-party sellers, focusing on policies like buy-box logic and marketplace data usage, which may classify as pricing-parity restrictions rather than price-fixing.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of E-commerce.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Amazon’s suspected pricing restrictions mark a regulatory pressure point that changes how you negotiate with platforms in Europe. Don’t treat Amazon as just a sales channel; this probe opens space for alternative marketplaces with less restrictive pricing rules.
