  “Privatize the profits, socialise the costs” may as well be Amazon’s corporate motto by this point.

  I feel for sellers who are faced with a slowly shortening list of alternatives to sell their products via to get as wide a customer base as possible, and feel pushed onto Amazon by its ubiquity. It’s a shit service for sellers.

  That’s sure to be a stable paradigm.
